theweaselking noted, "Using the same logic, of course, there's no right to bear arms, either - just because the constitution says you can't take it away doesn't mean it says you've got it." Remember the good old days, when there was a Supreme Court vacancy or two and Gonzales's name kept popping up as a candidate? Why, this fascinating exercise in hairsplitting is just what this country needs!
