1. Appropriate that it happens on April Fools day, where the biggest fool will be attending it.

2. this one will be closer than thev pundits think

and i'm very uncomfortable about what "domicile" might mean to the homeless, or what "allegiance" might mean to we "libberalcommie america haters"

3. I don't think they are extrapolating down to an "address level"

but more as an "intent to live and stay here" thing.

ACLU's Wang did a good discussion on both the terms "domicile" (which she indicated was supposedly a stipulated fact) and "allegiance" - where quite a bit came out near the end of the arguments, with an example of the child of an Irish mother who gives birth in the U.S. and that basically making the child a dual-national (although I don't recall any of the discourse specifically using that term but that is what you would have), and how does "allegiance" deal with that?

There was also discussion regarding "allegiance" with 2 different definitions - the one apparently argued by 45's people strictly as "loyalty" versus something more akin to having/accepting a particular recognized "nationality".

It seemed most of the justices were waving away the claims that "allegiance" was akin to some narrow "loyalty" thing (which was the insanity that happened during the WW2 Japanese internment camps era).
