Honestly? Really, this may be true, but was there another case where a FN was captured outside the borders of the US and given guaranteed rights of a citizen?

BTW, SCOTUS also said that Obamacare is a tax. The Founding Fathers had little to nothing to say about the power of the Supreme Court beyond letting Congress establish one.

Quote:
The Judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.
