[Alberta's Child]

There's an added complexity here because the "legal" parents -- who are Christians now living in Kansas -- apparently kept the child's Israeli citizenship after the adoption. For the life of me, I have no idea why anyone would do such a thing in that situation.

Personally, this sounds more and more like a freak show all around. I sure won't be losing any sleep over it.

And that is exactly why the Constitution, our founding document, as well as the original SC opinions of the 14th Amendment, neither allows for dual citizenship. The founding fathers as well as the following generations, all the way through the civil war, rejected the concept of dual citizenship. But alas, we got it via fiat law thanks to a corrupt Supreme Court decision in the 1890's who used British feudal law rather than adhering to American law the same court had just upheld less than 10 yrs prior to the fateful decision and by the same SC Justice no less who's bank account profited greatly from the unconstitutional decision he made.
