    Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship

    No, that's what's in dispute. The Constitution does not say, “the soil under the hospital bed overrides the political status of the family.” The Constitution says a person must be born in the United States AND subject to the jurisdiction thereof. You are assuming that second requirement is...

    Movies And All Things Film

    I thought it was really good. But I've always been a fan of scifi stuff. Haven't read the book yet, so can't compare it. But I can definitely recommend it as a movie. https://criticless.com/titles/project-hail-mary

    What did you believe before Open Theism?

    Sure. And I appreciate the question being asked that way. Fair warning, this will probably be quite long. The primary premise of Open Theism is that God is free. Every theological system starts with that premise at the beginning. Whether God remains free in their system is a different matter...

    Constitutional Monarchy

    Mostly agreed, with one important clarification. Subjects do not have supreme civil authority over the king. They do not have jurisdiction to command him, prosecute him, judge him (in the judicial sense), or remove him. What they do have is moral responsibility before God, which means they...

    Constitutional Monarchy

    Then you cannot complain that your points have not been answered. Those “seven sentences” contained multiple claims, accusations, and misrepresentations of my position. I answered them individually because that is what actually moves a discussion forward. If you will not read the answers, that...

    What did you believe before Open Theism?

    "Perfect knowledge of man" (as the NKJV titles the chapter) does not equate to "complete knowledge of everything and of past present and future." God made man. He knows how man functions. He knows the hearts of men, because he can look at their hearts and know their thoughts. And groups of...

    Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship

    Assimilation IS measured. Maybe not with a ruler or a clipboard in every case, but it is measured. It is measured by whether someone understands and can speak the national language. It is measured by whether he adapts to the culture. It is measured by whether he integrates into the surrounding...

    Constitutional Monarchy

    I almost missed this. I already tried granting that for the sake of argument earlier. Suppose your removal system could exist. Suppose the constitution could establish it. Suppose the procedure could be written down. The same structural questions still remain: Who operates it? Who judges...

    Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship

    Fine. Remove “invading soldiers” if that bothers you. The point remains. Illegal aliens, tourists, foreign students, temporary workers, foreign criminals, and foreign nationals arriving unlawfully by boat are all subject to American law while physically present here. That does not make them...

    Constitutional Monarchy

    You could answer my questions, for starters. That would move the conversation forward. The repetition is happening because you keep retreating back into your position instead of answering the arguments that have been advanced against it. I have not merely repeated, “I want a king.” I have...

    A little comedy break....

    Small shrubbery, actually, and looks like it's western or southwestern US, which is more arid. Less grass.

    The continued policing problem in America.

    Women shouldn't be cops, or at the very least, frontline or beat cops.
