Blackstone was and is far more important.
Blackstone does not agree with Vattel.
YOU have decided what you want and who you do and do not want, and you and other radical birthers are attempting to corrupt our legal system to support your views.
There is nothing “conservative” about radical birtherism.
(1) I did not state that Vattel was any sort of “controlling” publication, I believe it was only one of many influences of the FFs.
(2) I believe one thing about Ob, you believe another, so be it.
(3) I made no mention of “conservatism” related to birtherism - you did.
(5)WRT “us” “attempting to corrupt our legal system to support your views” how do you explain/justify the shenanigans taking place daily wrt Taitz’s attempts to shed the light of our “judicial” system om the issue. After all, what has Ob to fear from a public discourse on the matter, him being the head of the “most transparent administration to ever be in charge”????? Spend just one hour on her site and read about the “loss” of Fedex delivered docs, malfeasance by the clerks, irrational behavior of the judges, etc ad nauseum. I don't begrudge the establishment prevailing, IF they can do it HONESTLY and prevail in an open and fair arena. So far, they haven;t even come close.
(4) I've lived under totalitarian rule - have you????
