re: #189 Ace-o-aces

This has been a far right hobby horse for a while. I saw more than a bit of it in my Federalist Society days. The idea is based on some arcane notion of how one’s birth determines one’s loyalty. As if there’s a difference between being born 20 miles north or 20 miles south of a river. And then there’s a whole thing about how because a parent might not “be subject to the jurisdiction” of the US (which they take to mean “illegal”), then that calls into question an infant’s loyalty. None of it makes any kind of sense in the modern world if you think about it for more than 15 seconds.
