What would be the test to see whether or not a citizen loves this nation?
Seems intuitive to simply see whether that citizen is in favor of maintaining the authority of the nation.
That's called sovereignty.
1. The term sovereignty was rarely used before the 17th century, the time that people first came to think of representative assemblies as legislatures, reflecting the modern emphasis on law as an act of governing, i.e. government by consent. And during this period, discussions began about international law, the relations of sovereign nations.
In fact, the Declaration of Independence refers to such a law, in its first sentence: necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station thus assuming that nations, like individuals, have rights.
From a speech by Jeremy Rabkin, professor of law, George Mason School of Law, June 5, 2009 at Washington, D.C. sponsored by Hillsdale College.
2. " Sovereignty is the quality of having independent authority over a geographic area, such as a territory"
Encyclopædia Britannica
A geographic area is described by its borders.
If a nation chooses not to control its borders, it has no sovereignty.
It ceases to be a nation.
3. There are many, far too many, even elected officials who wear the label of "progressives" and that doesnt just mean Democrats, who are opposed to sovereignty, nationhood, separate and distinct.
They are globalists, one-worlders.
Listen to them speak:
a.Strobe Talbot, president of the Brookings Institution, has written that he welcomed super-national political authority, saying "In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all."
b.Harold Koh, chief legal adviser of the State Department, and the legal authority of the government on foreign legal policy, states that the Supreme Court "must play a key role in coordinating U.S. domestic constitutional rules with rules of foreign and international law," The only way for the Supreme Court to do that "coordinating" is to subordinate the real American Constitution to ever-evolving rules of foreign and international law.
c.Richard Haass, Republican, president of the Council on Foreign Relations states must be prepared to cede some sovereignty to world bodies if the international system is to function . sovereignty must be redefined if states are to cope with globalization.
d. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg defended the use of foreign law by American judges,...American hostility to the consideration of foreign law, she said, is a passing phase. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/12/us/12ginsburg.html

4. So....when the the California Supreme Court decided to allow an illegal alien to be awarded a law license, it, in effect voted to end sovereignty.

And so ends the great and noble experiment known as the United States of America....
