If you're referring to Medellin v. Texas, dual nationality didn't play a role. Even if it did, that scenario would be the opposite of what Osprey was arguing here (that the US would revoke the American citizenship of a foreign national). http://en.wikipedia....dellín_v._Texas

Do defaults in the 19th century or the 1930s matter at this point? Just look at post-1980.

"I so wish I was raised by English parents..." Let me translate that for you: you wish you were raised by white, upper class, public school educated English parents or by characters from a Victorian novel. It's the only context in which your stereotypes make the slightest sense, and it's not a...
