  • If it was crystal clear what does the word regulated refer to? The military, the individual or both?

      But just be patient, dude. Any day now the smoking gun is going to come out. Anonymous sources tell CNN that Drumpf's gardener is about to flip. Surely he has a secret recording of Putin and CheetoHitler conspiring to build a wall on the US southern border, improve GDP growth to 4%, improve the value of the stock market, pacify North Korea, increase energy exports (in competition with Russian energy exports), end birthright citizenship, renegotiate our trade deals, and cut corporate taxes in an effort to spur growth and bring back American manufacturing jobs. It is the most insidious conspiracy in the history of the world -- the crowning achievement of the lizard people!
      So your position is that all these people running Trump's campaign committed crimes they all had the details of, but none were related to the campaign?

        Alabama fans have always sought to exterminate our great literary journals. Stick to reading old copies of "Boys' Life", you troglodytic invertebrate.

                            I had another piece in my mind that argued a little harder contra your position, but I think this NRO piece is much better in terms of setting up the issue and concluding much as I did: https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/...l-requirement/

                            So, you know, if someone reaches the same spot I did then, it's right! But there are two points in there that I didn't know about and which are instruction -- the 1866 Civil Rights Act is instructive as to "subject to jurisdiction" and the dicta in the Slaughterhouse case is instructive (though, not controlling).

                            • That's actually fairly terrible reasoning and represents a remarkably shallow, dare I say, twitter shallow, understanding of subject to the jurisdiction of the US. It doesn't mean the conclusion is wrong; the reasoning, though, is not good.

                                Reading the NRO piece now but haha, virtually the same line is near the beginning:

                                rack up parking tickets with impunity. The U.S. government clearly does have jurisdiction, in this straightforward sense, over illegal immigrants; otherwise we would be powerless to deport them or or otherwise punish them for breaking our laws.
