It's funny. The founders cite "natural law" as their authority, and you prattle on about "Blackstone."
I'm sure George III pointed to him when he was explaining to the colonies why they didn't have the legal authority to secede.

Right. See prior post. Natural law underlay much of Blackstone's writing as well as Lord Coke's jus soli analysis in Calvin's Case.
But nice attempt to deflect the topic after I had to twice rub your nose in the part of Tucker where he clearly indicates U.S. law is accordant with Blackstone's jus soli principle.
