At that point could/should Opri have argued that as a US citizen Dannielynn's home in the US?

I had wondered that also. She is a US citizen, and her parents are US citizens. So, the US claim is just as equal.

This judge was saying DL was born in the Bahamas and has lived there her entire life. He did ask if she's ever been to the USA. Seems he didn't realize that she's 5 months old!! Her parents are American citizens. This is maddening!!

That was another issue she failed to argue with the judge this morning. The judge said the child lives in the Bahamas and is a citizen of the Bahamas. Only half true and Opri should have pointed it out: Dannielynn is not a citizen because ANS was not a citizen. ANS may not have even been a legal resident since she was not the owner of the home there....

ergo, Dannielynn is an American Citizen being held in the Bahamas so US Jurisprudence cannot get their hands on her DNA.
