Wrong.
That long screed shows a desperate attempt to turn facts and evidence upside down to prove a point that is wrong. Trying to tie Vattel in with every used of the term ‘law of nations’ was and is laughable. Founders used a number of sources, Blackstone for law, and many others for their ideas. Vattel was and is of almost no importance.

Ah, but he WAS cited in a few places, including the infamous worst decision ever, Dred Scott.

That correspondence repetitively referred to Vattel by name. Washington never returned that book to the library because he needed it so much.
