i don’t disagree. but i think this Supreme Court might. it might separate the obligations of jurisdiction (which come automatically as you say) from benefits thereof, which require some affirmative submission. i think this is bad! that suggests this Court might well do it. 1/

to get even more dystopian, the Court could claim people here on the sly lack other benefits of ordinary jurisdiction, have weaker due process rights in criminal cases, etc. this Court might find this an appealing frontier of law to explore. /fin
