By the way, I think SCRIBD is Google.
Hughes is complex and fascinating. Charles Hughes, besides trying to slip past Article II Section 1, was the author of the decision in Perkin v. Elg, where he affirmed the Minor v. Happersett definition which is the Vattel definition of natural born citizenship.
I'm happy to have serious questions. If I can't answer them there is usally someone here who can. It is easier to tell the trolls if they are blatently misrepresent things, as does “tired_old_conservative”. Perhaps we could rate contributors? My habit is to scan until I see your name, Bp2, rsxid, and a few others from whom I expect to learn something new.
I too thought SCRIBD was owned by google. I determined that they use the Google server farm. But I spoke with a founder who told me otherwise. They were on their third round of venture funding, which has always meant looking to “cash out” when I exchanged messages. They have a number of major clients. Their operations are in San Francisco, Obama country - at least thus far. (When serious brownouts begin they may begin reconsider, and move to Nevada or Texas.)
And thank you for the reference to the Herlihy paper. It was scrubbed from SCRIBD, and from the Kent Law Review archives, but later returned to SCRIBD. It may no longer be there? The Breckenridge Long article from the Chicago Legal Times of 1916 was scrubbed. It was a photocopy from a public library service in Newton Mass. I did save it, and if there were a way to post scrubbed documents on FR I would be happy to share it. I don't believe there can be any copyright issues with a 1916 Legal Journal available in a public library?
