Hermit Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 I still want a warrant. My house, as far as I know, has no illegal contraband in it. I still want a warrant if they search it. My phone, as far as I know, isn't calling Daesh or other terrorist organization or being used to arrange drug drops. I still want them to have a warrant. It it means the police have to actually do paperwork, the poor precious dears, tough stuff. Our rights as Citizens come before the ease of any government agency. First, Last, Always.

BoloOfEarth Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 To quote this article: President Donald Trump's administration said in court papers the government has a "compelling interest" in acquiring the data without a warrant because the information is particularly useful at the early stages of a criminal investigation. Has anyone pointed out to the administration that, by this same logic, Robert Mueller wouldn't need a warrant to acquire, say, the cell phone info throughout the election for anybody connected to the campaign?

Sociotard Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 The US doesn't formally recognize dual citizenship, but it doesn't do anything against it. Great Britain does allow dual citizenship. If Markle chooses to have kids, they will be natural born US citizens. Depending on how the emoluments clause gets interpreted, one kid could go on to be both President of the United States and in line to become Queen. (I'm now being told that the royal family isn't allowed to hold office. Not sure if that is just in Great Britain or they forbid foreign office too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrinku Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 4 hours ago, Old Man said: I read somewhere that Markle intends to give up her American citizenship after the wedding. There may well be a constitutional requirement. There's definitely precedent; it's actually normal for royals to marry foreigners, usually from other royal families. This business of hitching up with commoners is a bit of a modern fad (Diana doesn't count - her family are old blue bloods and her father was the 8th Earl of Spencer). I blame Prince Rainier of Monaco for starting the trend. I'm fairly certain Phillip was required to become a sole British citizen, though marrying the actual heir is a few steps up from marrying 5th in line for the Throne (and counting), and the Marriage Act and CoE rules have changed a lot since then.
