speaking of lieen the 'vessel', David Johnson pointed this out. a mindblower when you apply shipping vessel to person vessel, a trich they hoped we wouldnt ever catch (pre 1933) United States v. Rodgers, supra, that the United States may define and punish offenses committed by its own citizens on its own vessels while within foreign waters where the local sovereign has not asserted its jurisdiction.
that sovereign in our case would be the state, and seeing as the state flag s presented subordinate in (district) courtrooms and for some reason they dont SPEAK UP!
