Your fallacy here is trying to argue the special case to defeat the general rule. That won't work.

My fallacy is in thinking that there is any point to arguing with someone who as Reagan said:

"Knows so much which isn't so."

I suppose I do it for amusement. It is a sadistic streak out of which I really ought to grow.

Look at its sign up date. It is working when it posts at FR, working for the dissimilitudes of the liar-in-chief.

Indeed, and I'm here to apply the hurt. Like this bit from yesterday:

And as it should happen, this is exactly what the Book of English Law which Sat on John Adam's book shelf said as well.( Matthew Bacon, A New Abridgement of the Law, Vol 1, 1736)."

Proving again, there is not a source you can't manage to misread.

"All those are natural-born Subjects whose Parents, at the Time of their Birth, were under the actual Obedience of our King, and whose Place of Birth was within his Dominion."

Last night you hauled out a portion of Story's opinion saying exactly the same: "To constitute a citizen, the party must be born not only within the territory, but within the ligeance of the government." Of this you were gleeful, thinking the illustrious Justice Story was saying something to support your position.
br> No, he wasn't. He was summarizing Calvin's Case. He even says that: "This is clear from the whole reasoning in Calvin's Case." But you, being the idiot you are, can't see this.

Now, the ink is barely dry on my rejoinder to your gaffe there when you turn around, haul out another writer saying the same thing, and again try to brandish this as some great strike against the Terrible CpnHook.

But it's not. It's you making the same stupid mistake twice in the span of less than a day. I mean, seriously, this is ineptitude on a truly grand scale.

Fun stuff.

But I must say I'm disappointed in you. Here I've been pointing out that St. George Tucker states that U.S. laws are "accordant" with Blackstone's jus soli rule. You keep saying that you think there's some other stuff out there contra, And there MamaTexan is quoting portions of Tucker where he talks about that same idea of "ligeance." I was sure you'd go for the Hat Trick of Stupid and grab one of those, thereby making the same mistake three days in a row. But, this day is young. There's still time. C'mon, guy, you can do it.
