Apparently you didn’t even get the point that was being made, which was that Vattel was cited as the best expert on citizenship. What did your friend say about that?
And your lawyer friend is so full of logical fallacies that I wouldn’t pay a dime for her services.

I am not going to bother her with that question because it is sooo simple to answer. ONE, the VENUS case was about war stuff which is fighting between two or more nations, so it would be INTERNATIONAL LAW stuff which who knows, maybe Vattel maybe wrote some good stuff about people who were caught in the crossfire.
TWO, even if Vattel was a expert, the American judges did not quote him very much in our American citizenship cases, because I didn’t even see him in the Minor case, and he was not talked about very much in Wong Kim Ark that I saw. Sooo, who cares???
THREE, only very sneaky Vattle Birthers who are trying to deceive people would go back to some 1814 case thingy and try to wiggle around 1898 cases (84 years later!!!) or 2009 cases.
