There's actually a more recent historical framework for this exact argument than Roman law. But Vermeule chose not to cite the "Subjects and Citizens" chapter of Hitler's Mein Kampf for some reason!
I had missed this latest delirium by Adrian Vermeule on birthright citizenship
'Common law?! NAH, it's the Roman law of adoption that should govern the interpretation of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution!'

This is rather important. You can take practically any Stephen Miller (or JD Vance) talking point and find an analogous line in Nazi propaganda. A key task of the current right-wing intelligentsia, such as it is, is to launder that ideology through other, less controversial historical "sources"

Mr Cuban,
I just wanted to quickly thank you. My husband has XXXX cancer, a rare gastrointestinal cancer. We are between insurance right now and when we went to pick it up we were informed it was $29,000. We were able to get it from CostPlus for $990. Thank you for saving my husband's life.

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

The White House doesn't care because they know you and your colleagues won't do shit. They know that no matter how many laws they break, Senate Democrats will still confirm Trump judges and political appointees, while advancing the administration's nearly trillion-dollar defense budget.
Missing the deadline = breaking the law.
Deputy AG Blanche just said the Trump DOJ will miss the Epstein files deadline.
He says "several hundred thousand" docs will be released today, "and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more."
All files are required by law to be released today.

IUPAT President @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social is right:
Temporary Protected Status recipients are rigorously vetted, pay taxes, and do work in critical industries. They are part of our communities and our unions—they deserve respect and protection.
America’s unions will keep fighting for them.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).
