Reply #93: The ultimate Freeper irony [View All]

[jberryhill]

The Freeps go ballistic whenever a Supreme Court decision includes a discussion of comparative international law on a given point, since they believe that such dicta is the application of "foreign law" to a US legal question.

What's funny about the Donofrio argument is that they want to rely on British law as applied to the child of a British subject - to the exclusion of the plain language of the 14th Amendment that all persons born in the US and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are US citizens.

On "subject to the jurisdiction thereof", they don't seem to grasp that a person physically present in Hawaii is certainly subject to the jurisdiction of US law.

But, for the first time ever, freepers want to have the Supreme Court ignore the US Constitution, and have it apply British law exclusively.

Too funny.
