“subject to the jurisdiction of” means ‘owing allegiance to’ in Constitutional parlance. Actually, it’s still a common use of the word in International law.

I’m a big fan of primary sources - if you do some research on the debates surrounding the passage of the 14th Amendment, you’ll find no argument that it in any way grants birthright citizenship for aliens. They were very clear on this subject for two reasons. First, it was only ever intended to ensure that freed…

Think of the word “subject”. Think really carefully. It means “owing obedience to”. A person who is ‘subject to the jurisdiction of the United States’ cannot owe obedience to a foreign power. This is the fundamental first step in becoming a US Citizen - that disclaim any obedience or loyalty to a foreign power.

The conversation is about citizenship, but just so you know... you need to look up what ‘jurisdiction’ means with respect to constitutional law before you say any more dumb shit.

Here’s where you armchair lawyers miss the mark. There’s a specific condition to ‘birthright citizenship’ that has to be satisfied. That is to say, you have to be born in the territory of and ‘subject to the jurisdiction of the United States’. So for instance, if you’re here on a tourist visa, or if you’re a diplomat,…

So let me get this straight. You purchased one of the most reliable AND serviceable cars in history, but yours had problems. Fair. You spend cash and time fixing it up to make it reliable enough to sell, and you sold it. Then you bitch about how unreliable it was when you got it, having never actually tried to reap…

So we can add Raphael Orlove to the list of people who have been coordinating with the DNC now? This is how the narrative is shaping up - the DNC didn’t do anything wrong, this is all the fault of crazy Russian hackers.

Sadly, this was not a computer generated image. Graham lives in south Alabama, and subsists on a diet of bacon cheese burgers and a beer recently rebraned as ‘Murica.

The simple, peace loving citizens of Mars marveled at the Machine sent by the Terrans. Was it a gift? A messenger of goodwill between the people of flesh and the people of stone? For ten years, they debated, they observed and they waited, their cardiac organs filled with hope.

Actually, you have exactly the same types of crimes, they just occur at a far, far, far lower rate. I mean, you’ve had like... 3 people shot to death this year? We do more than that in one city in one night.

That’s kinja for you - you think you’re responding to one person, and it shows up in the thread with someone else’s name.

You fucking morons... civil laws don’t exist to provide an anvil against which to brutalize a population. They’re the codification of our ethics and morals, and an infringement of them doesn’t justify this kind of “let’s nail ‘em to the wall for jaywalking” attitude. The driver needs to be fined for entering a…

The real metaphor here is that despite attacks, the Trump campaign continues on to its destination. Although, I like how cleverly you glossed over the fact that it was someone else who ran into the vehicle carrying Trump staffers, and not the other way around.

So you’re pretty much a typical racist fuck. Keep your shit up... the pendulum, once disturbed, swings both ways.

So you’re telling me that Hillary will indeed win the next election. Shit.

I stand corrected - NHTSA is still being a bitch. The regulatory barrier they managed to break down was State laws for all 50 US states and all those Canadian provinces. NHTSA is now the only one standing in the way. They’re going to try again this year with getting an exception carved out for testing and data…

Also, because you’re black.

Unlike you common whores, I was able to abstain from watching any of it. I don’t need to take a bite of a shit sandwich to know it tastes like shit...

CCD? 1998 called, they want their technology back.... there are very few CCD cameras in use anymore. CMOS is far superior.

Just to add - one of the hurdles was regulatory. The NHTSA and other agencies would not allow you to manufacture a car that didn’t have at least a drivers side view and windsheild mounted rear view mirror. OEM manufacturers managed to get those regulations modified to allow for cameras just last year.
