The case of temporary visitors was more complicated at common law. The parents, if lawfully present, were under the temporary protection of the sovereign. That is why one judge in a famous case, Lynch v. Clarke, held in 1844 that a child born of temporary sojourners was a citizen. But the rule was contested because of increasing international travel and the resulting dual allegiances. Joseph Story suggested that an exception for temporary visitors would be a “reasonable qualification” to the rule. Henry St. George Tucker in his treatise stated flatly that temporary visitors fell outside the common-law

I'm afraid I can't just sit here and say nothing when another law professor gives false testimony to Congress about the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Ilan Wurman has given false testimony to Congress, being fully on notice of the falsity. I do not think this is fairly debatable. 1.

Apart from the moral repugnance, this is so revealing of how ignorant conservatives are about poverty. Poor people have to think about money ALL THE TIME. They worry constantly about what everything costs, how to substitute one purchase for another, what bill can be put off until payday, etc.

Remember these words as he engineers a humanitarian disaster the scale of which nobody in this hemisphere has seen in living memory.

Q: A new report says that a military investigation has found that the US struck the school in Iran. As commander in chief, do you take responsibility?

TRUMP: For what?

Q: A strike on the school in Iran

TRUMP: I don't know about it

Hey fellas! Help the 77th finish taking out the trash in Kupiansk! They need our help to fund 40 FPV drones. As I’m sure you know, these drones are incredibly effective and cost-effective, so let’s get this done.

Sometimes the FPV looks for prey. Sometimes the prey comes itself🎯

The 77th Airmobile Brigade continues disinfecting Kupiansk from orc—part of an incredible operation that freed the city, has offed thousands of invaders and encircled many others☠️

Support our 77th Brigade drones fundraiser👇

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

In the 60s it was “suppose they gave a war and nobody came.” Now it’s “suppose we did a war and then said that we didn’t do a war and also we already won the war and we beat you shut up”

Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones.

We’re barely a week into Trump’s war and already his family has found a way to cash in.

Everything is for sale.

Signs you might be a far right authoritarian party (#3330):

I think people who say things like this, especially prominent people with power, should be shamed and shunned and reviled — cancelled, if you will.

“Free speech culture” disapproves of that sentiment — says that it’s worse than what Ogles said.

Judge it thus.

24 hours later -- not a peep out of any House Republican leaders or any Republicans in Congress or the Tennessee GOP at all about this.

I go no responses from anyone I reached out to.

Guess they're all fine with comments like this!

The worst cabinet in American history And it's not even close.

BOFA DEEZ NUTS SECURITIES

ICE Detention of Teen Musicians Roils Texas Mariachi Community Two brothers who were recognized by their congresswoman last year, along with their parents and younger brother, are facing deportation.

Two brothers from South Texas and their high school mariachi bandmates were recognized by their congresswoman last June for winning a state mariachi competition. Nine months later, the brothers, along with their parents and younger brother, are in ICE detention and facing deportation.

Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.

These people are, to be blunt, substantially less intelligent than they believe they are.

Justin Fox Deposition (Part 3) in MLA-ACLS-AHA Lawsuit about the NEH YouTube video by ModernLanguageAssoc

It's stunning how ignorant the DOGE bros were who were sent into agencies. Justin Fox cannot even articulate in his own words what his "present understanding of DEI" is: he can't even formulate a coherent sentence about it. I wouldn't hire him for basic tech support. #NEH

Look, even if SOMEPLACE has to be the white homeland, why do WE draw the short straw? There’s plenty of pasty-ass countries out there.

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

This vulgar oaf.

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Documents reveal a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate:

ProPublica is releasing a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees who declined to identify former clients.

Fox ran older footage but labeled it as happening Saturday.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Prison guards discussed cover-up of Epstein’s death, inmate tells FBI One officer said: “Dudes, you killed that dude.”

🚨 How about that: more evidence that #EpsteinDidntKillHimself in addition to Dr. Michael Baden’s statement that Epstein’s injuries—including a broken hyoid bone—were a sign of strangulation.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.
