Now if you are entitled to US citizenship and entitled also to foreign citizenship by birthright, you may claim that citizenship. This came about because of Jews who want to have both Israeli and US citizenship, and have a strong voice in Congress. Marc Rich is Jewish, but the citizenship in question was Spanish, not Israeli.

Thanks for the post. At first I thought, "what the hell am I supposed to do with this? IANAL?"

So dual citizenship for disloyal Americans is one more slam that America got from the Warren court, mostly. (Not that Burger was any better. He was worse). Funny, I was just looking at Trop v. Dulles in reference to Lt. Watada.

Also, I didn't say anthing about Marc Rich, I don't know why you're quoting me on him. He was obviously a special case of an operator trying to play jurisdiction games, not a citizen of divided loyalty, like, say, Afroyim.

d.o.l.
