"If I Steal a Wallet in Japan," Justice KBJ Argues That Makes Her a Japanese Citizen

D'OH!
As you know, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments on Wednesday about President Trump's order striking down birthright citizenship, and Trump is there in person "to intimidate the justices," many progressives are saying. Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that Colorado's ban on conversion therapy was unconstitutional, with the only holdout being Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. As our own Just Mindy reported earlier, we've got a good old catfight on our hands, with Jackson accusing liberal justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor of being dupes for the conservative majority, while Kagan basically accused Jackson of not understanding the law.
Speaking of not understanding, Jackson made the argument in favor of birthright citizenship that if she were traveling to Japan and stole someone's wallet, she would be "locally owing allegiance" to the country by being held to its legal authority.

Penny Dreadful (@EvaintheSnow) ~ Does she imagine that should give her Japanese citizenship?
KBJ is a blithering idiot. One's behavior is always subject to the local laws where you are at any particular time - no matter what country you are in - however, THAT duty to abide by local laws and customs absolutely does NOT imbue you with citizenship in that country. This woman's intellectual abilities have not progressed since she was two years old!
MAZE (@mazemoore) ~ I got pulled over by the police once in Mexico. That means I'm Mexican. Now, I have to go tell my kids they are Mexican, too.
Yeah ...
Will Ricciardella (@WillRicci) ~ That’s territorial jurisdiction, not political allegiance. If being subject to laws meant allegiance, every tourist would be a citizen.
Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) ~ You are all laughing at SCOTUS Justice Ketanji Brown "Bluesky" Jackson, but they really do believe if you commit a crime in a country, it still entitles you to citizenship. Look at the past year. She just wasn't supposed to say it, much less say it that clumsily.
Yep ... just look at Biden, Mayorkas, KBJ, etc. ... they think if someone commits a crime under American law (i.e., illegally invade our country) that they should be given U.S. citizenship and all sorts of taxpayer-funded goodies.
Don Hodson (@donhodsonesq) ~ There is no way this woman has a law degree.
Well, KBJ meets the DEI requirements - she's a woman (although KBJ doesn't know how to define that) and she's black - so, Hahvaad conferred a legal degree upon her for possessing a vagina and an abundance of melanin in her skin.
Glib Facsimile (@facsimileglib) ~ So, if I break into your house, I am subject to the house rules ... in a sense, it’s a rental agreement.
HEY, that could solve the housing shortage, right?!
Alan Wolan (@AlanWolan) ~ I literally can't take the level of imbecility evidenced by this person. I have all sorts of physical reactions listening to her speak.
pipermcq (@pipermcq) ~ I had to actually listen to the recording to hear for myself that she really said this. Dear God ... it’s true.
And this is just one of her arguments. She's an embarrassment to the whole Supreme Court.
