read post 91. Would have been cool if Cruz would have done that!

The trick is to think through all the possible counter arguments before you speak. Not that hard to do. Like playing chess.

Could have used the tack that the Bill of Rights is NOT saying what are Citizen rights. Indeed, the Bill of Rights is merely stating what GOVERNMENT may NOT EVER do. The rights under discussion exist because we were born with freedom. The BOR is there so that govt cannot take them away. And, NO, the govt can't just try, supposing SCOTUS will turn them down.
