Calvin's case is also known as "the Case of the Postnati". "Postnati" in this case (I know how you hate Latin) Means after-born, or in better English, "Born- After".

I STUDIED Latin, you idiot. What I hate is your pretentiousness in bandying it about as if you know what the hell you're talking about, and are some kind of authority, when you don't, and aren't.

I find it amusing that of all the aspects to which you could have responded, it is my needling you about Latin that you thought the most important. (Narcissism much?)

And thus do you completely dodge the point. But hey, I can simply repeat it without leaving you a side issue behind which to hide.

Let me repeat. "Calvin" was BORN-AFTER James I ascended the throne of England and thereby Uniting England and Scotland, so under the rules of English law, anyone born in Scotland AFTER James I became King, was born as a subject of the King.

So why did it take 14 judges and much deliberation to figure this out?
