You, sir are what I call a ‘mental masturbater’.

And I have NO desire to hold whatever needs holding while you do it.

Nice talk! I see you’ve left the thread. If you want to play in the bigs mama, you need the right bat.

By you quoting (with great fanfare by the way) Blackstone as THE authority with our framers, you sent yourself back to the T-ball league. Nice chatting with you while it lasted, hope you learned something from the practice.

Oh I should have added 'change the question to that list'

First, your complaint was 'natural born citizen' was nowhere to be found in Vattel. And I showed you.

THEN you complained it was only once, and demanded a direct connection. and I showed you.

THEN you complained that that connection wasn't specifically for that particular clause.

If that was they only evidence that would satisfy you, why be coy? Why not just say so?

Maybe...because you really weren't interested in an answer? Maybe you get your jollies moving the goalpost?

It doesn't matter, because even if that were presented, you wouldn't be convinced, you would find another complaint.

It's not in the original French, it's not translated correctly, etc., etc., etc.

If you think the Founders spoke words like:

That these are our grievances which we have thus laid before his majesty, with that freedom of language and sentiment which becomes a free people claiming their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate.
Thomas Jefferson, Rights of British America, 1774

And still not see the correlation between them and the The Law of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law [which is the title in the 1758 edition printed in 1797], then there never WILL be enough evidence for you.

Good day.
