Debt and Citizenship Clash in Puerto Rico Case
Solicitor General Richards argues in the Supreme Court that Puerto Rico remains outside U S constitutional reach until Congress acts.

Congress has not yet extended full constitutional authority, leaving military occupation and provisional governance in place.
