| 2 days ago | comment | added | ohwilleke♦ | @wrod The lord's interest in land came with obligations to provide services to the next lord up the chain and wasn't alienable. | |
| 2 days ago | comment | added | wrod | @ohwilleke they can be. But that right derives from the lords' rights to charge rent. So you can't say that the concept I suggested is novel. It's more outdated than novel. | |
| 2 days ago | comment | added | ohwilleke♦ | @wrod Since when do the British assert that property cannot be taxed? | |
| 2 days ago | comment | added | wrod | @ohwilleke "No country in the world has every interpreted an individual's right to own property in that manner." Are you sure? I would think The Crown (in the British sense of the term) may disagree. | |
| Jul 3 at 17:11 | comment | added | Morisco | @ohwilleke I suggest adding a discussion as an example to the answer. With the minimum background for non-Americans. | |
| Jul 3 at 16:48 | comment | added | ohwilleke♦ | @Morisco Citizenship is besides the point as with a couple of tiny exceptions almost never matters with respect to rights under U.S. law or the authority of the U.S. government. Certainly, Padilla and Hamdi hold that the U.S. war powers extend to U.S. citizens in and outside the territory of the U.S. americanbar.org/groups/law_students/resources/on-demand/… | |
| Jul 3 at 16:38 | comment | added | Morisco | @ohwilleke I didn't know that there are US citizens imprisoned in Guantanamo. | |
| Jul 3 at 14:27 | comment | added | ohwilleke♦ | @Morisco "when a person is kept imprisoned, because admitting the miscarriage of justice could compromise the US security?" This is happening right now in the Guantanamo situation and was approved legally in the Padilla and Hamdi cases. | |
| Jul 3 at 8:08 | comment | added | Morisco | @ohwilleke Interesting, but IMHO lacks specific examples. Could a Dreyfus-like situation be possible in the US: when a person is kept imprisoned, because admitting the miscarriage of justice could compromise the US security? Or if we take 'Israel hostage dilemma' - would US release dangerous terrorists in order to release its citizens from captivity? | |

| Jul 3 at 1:37 | comment | added | wrod | While I agree with this in principle, I can also see the viewpoint that land taxes mean that ownership of land, as such, doesn't exist in the US and one can only enter into a perpetual lease of land from counties (in which counties cannot revoke most terms of the lease, but can increase the rent). | |
| Jul 2 at 20:23 | comment | added | ohwilleke♦ | @SJuan76 Of course. There are myriad possible examples, I chose the more likely one of those two. | |
| Jul 2 at 20:22 | comment | added | SJuan76 | Your right to free exercise of religion ends when you decide you want to involuntarily use him as a human sacrifice in your religious ritual. To be pedantic, I am quite sure that it would also end if the human sacrifice were voluntary. | |
