[DiogenesLamp]

State your authority. I can make up law out of my head too. I haven’t found it very useful in the practice of law.

Sure, but can we first get to the point I have been trying to resolve?

Do you agree that US Citizenship began July4, 1776? It seems like you are trying to dodge this question.

[Springfield Reformer]

The Inglis case reflected a complex and volatile legal environment during the transition to the revolutionary government. Ambiguities abound. I’m not in a position to respond to your question without some significant narrowing context, which you seem unwilling to provide, or when I thought you did provide it, you didn’t like my response, which was to your point as well as I could make it, though under the disability of insufficient information. So no, I’m not playing the game. If you have a theory, put your cards on the table and let me examine your assumptions in context. Then we can talk.

Peace,
