“Webster means Vattel’s law of nations.”
Only if you are an idiot. Many people have written on the Law of Nations. Vattel was only one. When Webster wrote about the Law of Nations, he was not limiting that phrase to one book of many.
Sorry, but only in bushpilotland & WorldNutDaily is Vattel the final authority on all things.
Pls tell us Mr Rogers why is the Supreme Court citing Vattel in Virginia v Tennessee if Vattel’s Law of Nations is limited to Swiss law?
