Did I vote for Orly Taitz?

Don't worry, if Orly Taitz has her way, your vote will still go to her in the end. Presenting:
Taitz v Obama, et al.

Yes, she sued President Obama over the result of the California Primary elections. No, I haven't a clue why.

Because she's trying to beat out the Church of Scientology for the title of Most Vexatious Litigant?

Orly & smokes? What's the connection?

None, I just didn't want to start a new thread to continue a discussion started on this one.

Smoking:Lungs :: Taitz:Brain ?

Smoking:Lungs :: Taitz:Brain ?

That works for me!

But seriously I don't like taxes that disproportionately hit the poor.

IIRC Gary Kreep belongs to the Vattel school of birfers, who argue that you have to have two citizen parents to be a natural born citizen.

I've heard Orly make that claim too. Does any country on Earth have such a citizenship rule?

Low turnout.

Most countries, I think.

Most countries, I think.

really? you sure?

 

[casebro]

Yes, I am absolutely positive that I think that.

You might try looking up "birthright citizenship".

Don't worry, you're basically right. Obviously not everyone in chicago (or it's suburbs) lives right on the border with indiana. I live around 15-20 minutes away from the border (it's not really that far but all the "quick" paths are a bit out of the way) but I'd consider hopping across the border for shopping* unreasonable - of course I'm not a smoker so those economics are unfamiliar to me.

* I am tempted, sometimes; I believe there is a Meijer not to far into IN and as a native michigander I miss having one nearby.

There's Meijers in Rolling Meadows, Niles, Bloomingdale and Orland Park. The one in Orland is smaller.

Just being born in the UK does not automatically grant you UK citizenship. I think this came up in a thread sometime ago and the USA was in a minority of comparable countries that has such a clear black and white "born here = citizen" approach.

It's funny how you get to vote on every tax increase. Illinois just raised it by $1/pack, thus ensuring millions of dollars in new tobacco tax revenue.

For Indiana.

And Missouri.

The question isn't about about jus soli citizenship, but about the both parents be citizens citizenship requirement.
