How does that change the reality that swordshyll is arguing against his own stated opinion?
LOL

So you admit we can revoke their immunity even though they aren't subject to our jurisdiction?
Good, we can expel them without them being subject to our jurisdiction too.
Ex post facto laws are unconstitutional. If they can be prosecuted for laws they break before they are caught, then they are subject to the jurisdiction while they are in it.
In the 1970s, "It's only illegal if you get caught" was one of the standard jokes of the era. Seeing that used as a serious argument is a damned sight funnier.
He seems kind of directionless without McCain.
Trump?
No. Once immunity is revoked, they are subject to the jurisdiction they're in.
Are citizens "living in a state of outlawry" subject to the jurisdiction they're in before they get caught?
You really seem to enjoy making an ass of yourself.
Grammatical and legal realities are, apparently, irrelevant. All that seems to matter is enabling Trump to embrace and expand the imperial presidential powers set in precident by the Bush and Obama administrations so he can tickle Swordy's feelz on this issue, lawful proceedure be damned.
But we can revoke their immunity while they are not subject to our laws or it couldn't be revoked since they have it.No. Once immunity is revoked, they are subject to the jurisdiction they're in.
In diplomacy, a persona non grata (Latin: "person not appreciated", plural: personae non gratae) is a foreign person whose entering or remaining in a particular country is prohibited by that country's government. Being so named is the most serious form of censure which a country can apply to foreign diplomats, who are otherwise protected by diplomatic immunity from arrest and other normal kinds of prosecution.
Under Article 9 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, a receiving state may "at any time and without having to explain its decision" declare any member of a diplomatic staff persona non grata. A person so declared is considered unacceptable and is usually recalled to his or her home nation. If not recalled, the receiving state "may refuse to recognize the person concerned as a member of the mission".[SUP][1][/SUP]
With the protection of mission staff from prosecution for violating civil and criminal laws, depending on rank, under Articles 41 and 42 of the Vienna Convention, they are bound to respect national laws and regulations. Breaches of these articles can lead to a persona non grata declaration being used to punish erring staff. It is also used to expel diplomats suspected of espionage (described as "activities incompatible with diplomatic status")[SUP][citation needed][/SUP] or any overt criminal act such as drug trafficking. The declaration may also be a symbolic indication of displeasure.
So-called "tit for tat" exchanges have occurred (whereby ambassadors of countries involved in a dispute each expel the ambassador of the other country), notably during the Cold War. A notable occurrence outside of the Cold War was an exchange between the United States and Ecuador in 2011: the Ecuadorian government expelled the United States ambassador, as a result of diplomatic cables leaking (WikiLeaks), the United States responded by expelling the Ecuadorian ambassador.[SUP][2][/SUP]

No, they are not.Are citizens "living in a state of outlawry" subject to the jurisdiction they're in before they get caught?
You are the one who does that.You really seem to enjoy making an ass of yourself.
How can you revoke anything if they aren't subject to our laws?
No. They leave of their own accord.And they are ordered out of the country as part of the revocation.
They most certainly are expelled, at the end of the war they are sent home

Proving that you are incapable of understanding my argument so you just make things up yet again.Oh, I don't know. If he had the decency to admit that he doesn't consider himself as a citizen to do anything illegal until he gets caught, just like aliens, we'd all see that he's not even doing anything as heavy as trashing the Constitution and promoting the Imperial Presidency. He's just playing rhetorical Silly Buggars.
But we can revoke their immunity while they are not subject to our laws or it couldn't be revoked since they have it.
We can also expel them.
Article 9
- The receiving State may at any time and without having to explain its decision, notify the sending State that the head of the mission or any member of the diplomatic staff of the mission is persona non grata or that any other member of the staff of the mission is not acceptable. In any such case, the sending State shall, as appropriate, either recall the person concerned or terminate his functions with the mission. A person may be declared non grata or not acceptable before arriving in the territory of the receiving State.
- If the sending State refuses or fails within a reasonable period to carry out its obligations under paragraph 1 of this Article, the receiving State may refuse to recognize the person concerned as a member of the mission.
There are laws that create the diplomatic process.Wow, you really have no idea how any of this works, do you?
Diplomatic accreditation is granted by the receiving country prior to the arrival of the diplomat. It signals that the country will recognize them as a diplomat and - as per the Vienna Convention - regard them as not subject to the legal jurisdiction of the country. It's not a legal process, it's a diplomatic process.
No. They leave of their own accord.
If they were to stick around beyond the grace period that they have been granted, then you could deport them because at that point they would be subject to your jurisdiction.
It's the exact opposite of what you are claiming.

And yet they were not subject to our jurisdiction until we caught them..........................JUST LIKE ILLEGALS.They can be sent home. They can be prosecuted for crimes, war or otherwise. There is no law which gives soldiers immunity from prosecution.
Did we sign and ratify the treaties involved?Side note: Have you suddenly developed a devotion to international law? Do you believe that the United States is actually bound by any of the conventions related to the law of war?
Declaring them PNG is the expulsion order and it takes place while they have diplomatic immunity.Dude, I quoted the source document for that wiki article. You even replied to that post, but obviously youcouldn'tdidn't read it. It's the Vienna Convention. The part I quoted was even about the exact thing you're trying to talk about. Here it is again:
The sending state recalls them. They are not expelled.
1) Declare PNG
2) Grant grace period for person to leave
3) They don't leave
4) They are now subject to your laws (no longer a diplomat)
5) Now you can expel them
Again, the exact and polar opposite of what you claim.
I'm just glad we have a autistic screeching retard on board, it makes it so much livelier.

Try learning:That's so unfair!
Autistic people are actually smart.

LOL
Grammatical and legal realities are on my side.
No it isn't, if the embassy fails to comply then the diplomat will be forcibly expelled if he steps off its grounds.What you're claiming is invalidated by the text that you quoted.
That is your position.You are factually in error. This is, really, a minor point. Just admit your error and save yourself further humiliation.
