“The statements of leading commentators on the law of nations are to the same effect.”

Is the sentence showing law of nations or Law of Nations? Are stating this cannot possibly refer to Vattel?

You guys keep distorting law of nations cannot refer to Vattel.

Sometime lurker is absolutely correct. Not a single one of your slice and dice quotes has to do with Vattel’s book. If you think one of quotes has to do with Vattel’s book, give us the name of the case and it's citation so you can give us the context in which the quote is used. I noticed you were too embarrassed to give any cites.

That sentence does not refer to Vattel's book "The Law of Nations." (What, do you think we can't look this stuff up?) It's from FONG YUE TING V. UNITED STATES, 149 U. S. 698 (1893). It's followed by quotes from four commentators on the law of nations as regards the right of a state to expel foreigners. One of those commentators is Vattel, but they are not commenting on Vattel or his book. That cite pretty much proves that not every reference to the law of nations is a reference to Vattel's book--thanks for providing such a clear example.
