[QUOTE=detbuch;

Your comments seem to nitpick at some of his language, but don't engage, at all, his constitutional argument.[/QUOTE]

classic Saul Alinsky....I think John R pointed this out very clearly a short time ago...his purpose is never to prevail in an argument because he can't based on facts, destroy/discredit the opponent...his objective is to find a tiny flaw with your argument, even just one word... and focus on that and claim that since this is erroneous your entire stance is invalid and you are discredited, throw in a couple of smarmy insults as you kick dirt in the hole and he is elevated while having not really achieved anything of sustance...

"I'm not going to argue the notion of a negatively biased constution, for the most part it is. But the application of the constution as an absolute isn't very practical, there are always exceptions. The lession I take is that those exceptions should be very well thought out.

Moral relativism is a deke, I don't know anybody who believes it should be a guiding principal in a pure form. The reality is that the vast majority of the country lives, quite well mind you, with a combination of beliefs.

Too much of anything will kill you.
