John Jay was also an abolitionist.

It's just another of DL's numerous fallacies. This one (the claim that Rawle shouldn't be listened to because he was an abolitionist) is so minor I don't think it deserves coverage.

But it shows that DL is so committed to his fallacious Constitutional claims, hey, what's one or two more fallacies?

In for a penny, in for a pound. As the English say.

“In for a penny, in for a pound. As the English say.”

You’re even quoting common British lingo. Are you even American?

de Vattel:

“The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.”

“[P]arents” and “citizens” is plural so that means two citizen parents to make one natural born citizen.

Judge Samuel Roberts:

“The children of aliens, born within the United States are aliens: they do not acquire citizenship by birth; but remain in the condition of the parents.”

“[A]liens” and “parents” is plural so he is talking about children with two alien parents. What if they had one alien and one citizen parent?

Just kidding or not.

I did not make such a claim. Once again Jeff is wrong And lying about it.

But it shows that DL is so committed to his fallacious Constitutional claims, hey, what's one or two more fallacies?

Sure, why not. After all, if you've got your hundreds of fallacies, what are a couple from me? (Though I haven't yet put one forth. )

Never let it be said that Jeff Winston will ever stop saying what the English say.
