Actually, it is not so much the SC’s finding, as it is how law enforcement interprets what the SC states, and carries it out. Law enforcement could take “subject to jurisdictaiton of” very literally, and deport every one here illegally including their children back to the countries that have jurisdiction, that is the countries of which they are citizens or subjects, the country that must give them passports, the country where they have the right to vote, the country that can draft them into their military, the country whose embassy can intervene if they or their "anchor bobies" get into trouble in this country. I am so darn sick of the lies and obfuscation, and I think what makes me the angriest about this is that the schools have failed our young people so badly that they don't know these things, including some of the younger freepers. No one should be bamboozled by this, they should have learned this in high school!

Every country on the face of this earth claims to have jurisdiction over everyone within it’s physical territory excepting only those that have been granted diplomatic immunity.

If a US citizen goes to Italy and is suspected in a murder case, the legal process will unfold according to Italy’s laws, not the US laws. Thus the US citizen is subject to the jurisdiction of the legal system of Italy while on Italy soil. The reverse is also true. An Italian citizen comes to the US is subject to the jurisdictions of US laws (Congress) and the US legal system (courts) while here, legally or not.
