Or, in other words, we need to be as precise and accurate as the language itself will allow.<BR/><BR/>It can't be helpful to that effort, however, that we have immigrants coming here in droves who know nothing or very little of the English language.<BR/><BR/>-TerryTerry Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166609562028309038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27070282.post-16303008397526813742007-11-13T20:10:00.000-06:002007-11-13T20:10:00.000-06:00Terry,Thanks for the comments.

I'll have to add Berger's book to my growing list.<BR/><BR/>I think we've discussed language and its use and misuse before, but I'm of the growing opinion that we can't be too clear in the language we use - trusting that our words will be understood is a pretty risky proposition, given how language gets warped with the passage of time.<BR/><BR/>-MTMichael Tamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16861899520031696061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27070282.post-16473714662134183072007-11-13T10:06:00.000-06:002007-11-13T10:06:00.000-06:00Nice post, Mike.

(And as I've said many times before, this idea of "dual citizenship" is a completely illegitimate one. It doesn't matter whether it's applied to Indians or anyone else.)<BR/><BR/>As Auster said to me some time back on the subject (and this is a paraphrase): "The authors of that amendment really should have thought the language through better." I've always agreed with that assessment, and indeed, it is something of a simplification of what I've been saying for ... several years now. Remember the short discussion I had with the woman at the Federalist Patriot, what, three years ago now? Her name eludes me at the moment (I'd have to check my archives), but the point is she and I both agreed, as I recall, that the language used sort of obscured the meaning and original intent of the amendment. And I've said several times before that I indict the intent of no-one on this question; that the intent was most likely good, but the road to h*ll has been paved with those good intentions nonetheless.<BR/><BR/>It is nice to have the historical evidence on your side, though. I'm still thankful that Auster recommended Berger's book, <I>Government by Judiciary</I> to me. And I highly recommend it to anyone interested in this question of the original intent of the framers of the fourteenth amendment.<BR/><BR/>-TerryTerry Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166609562028309038noreply@blogger.com
