I was reading cases on the subject of citizenship in general, and to make the point that courts are fallible, there is a line of cases decided on a fictitious (does not exist) clause in the Mexican constitution relating to marriage. That has no bearing on Cruz or Obama, but hundreds of cases were decided wrongly because the courts accepted a highly relevant legal authority as existing, that did not in fact exist! The outcome of the cases hinged on this error.
Are federal judges trying to cite foreign law now? Elena
Kagan — was she the one who said we should do more of that?
