  • Ralph Nader '58 and Bruce Fein '72 visited Harvard Law School for a talk sponsored by the HLS Forum and the Harvard Law Record. At the event, "America's Lawless Empire: The Constitutional Crimes of Bush and Obama," both men discussed what they called lawless, violent practices by the White House and its agencies that have become institutionalized by both political parties.

    Thank you Mr. Nader and Mr. Fein. I am 73 today and have witnessed the spiral down as I spiral down myself, stripped of everything. The one advantage is if one puts in the effort one can understand, see the patterns and arrive at some conclusions, however tentative:
    (1) When decency fights deceit, deceit wins at least in the short term.
    (2) Most people are born with what we call 'decency' as a survival tool. That is being 'corrected' by massive chemicals in Americans & corrupted education...

    This video should be seen by every citizen of the USA. Extremely informative. I wish the viewers numbers were in the millions. I admire both speakers.

    Nadar is one in a handfull of modern day heros. Not many of them left. He always knows what he is talking about and never hesitates because he knows and speaks the truth. All my friends who are slaves to the man do have an hr to watch king of thrones or whatever its called every week, but never have an hr to listen to the facts. They still think im crazy for not accepting obama...and they know i voted for the fool! I woke up and now its their turn.

    The problem, it seems to me, is that even 'if' Congress retains the power to tackle the issue of endemic constitutional corruption it is also responsible for that corruption. Therefore, even if one focuses on the current Congress without investigating other systemic abuses - corporate lobbying, say - there is no hope of reversing this process. What depresses me the most is that Harvard students don't appear to have the appetite to mobilise and change this. Odd.

    America has no law. Therefore, any treatment given to Americans outside the USA is legal. This bothers some Americans, but certainly the American rulers are not among these.

    NO! That is wrong.

    LOL! I have no problem answering your question; and I don't know how it proves anything, but I guess you'll tell me. Yes, I am a mother- to 5 kids. All born in the US. Which makes them natural born citizens. REGARDLESS of MY citizenship status; they are NB Citizens. If I was a Russian citizen, my kids would still be natural born citizens. Born here. Lol, of course the gov didn't create them- they just decided on the definition of the wording. :)

  • @blondegirl214
    @blondegirl214 11 років тому +1

    I already answered the first question; asking me to answer it again because you just didn't like the first answer isn't going to change my answer. And wtf does the second question have anything to do with the first? Are you asking because you don't know the answer or is this some sort of little test?

    continued However, when the father is the citizen parent, inter alia, one of three affirmative steps must be taken before the child turns 18: legitimization, a declaration of paternity under oath by the father, or a court order of paternity. § 1409(a)(4). The failure to satisfy this section renders Nguyen ineligible for citizenship. Pp.59-60.
    key words being..INELIGIBLE FOR CITIZENSHIP

    If you feel the need to state a case as your proof- you might want to read up on the case and the decision of the case first.
    Supreme Court case Nguyen v. INS
    A child born abroad and out of wedlock acquires at birth the nationality status of a citizen mother who meets a specified residency requirement. § 1409(c).

    (continued) A Naturalized Citizen is someone who was NOT born in the united states., nor are they able to claim that dual citizenship situation described above- it is a person who gives up his own citizenship from wherever he's from, comes to America and takes a test to become a US citizen.

    lol! Wrong. A natural born citizen is anyone who is BORN IN THE UNITED STATES. Nothing to do with who your parents are- although if your parents are united states citizens and they go on vacation while pregnant and you are born in another country, you are still a US citizen, and you can also claim a duel citizenship with whatever country you were actually given birth to in.

    Has any one looked into common law.. We the people... seems to be a different mind set. One of the best websites I have found on this is 1215.org

  • @blondegirl214
    @blondegirl214 11 років тому

    You discredit your own self by not knowing that even if both parents are "foreign"; anyone born in the United States is a United States citizen. No ifs,ands,or buts about it.
