It made an argument which extended the preamble of said document to another defunct article which had no force in law

A preamble which contains a statement of intent (much like the demised Articles of Confederation & Perpetual Union which were abandoned) and NO Powers, and another Declaration of Secession.

I'm still trying to figure out if our friend el capitan has been more shrill and insulting this time around, or if that only seems to be the case due to the lack of #3extremist to compare against.

[4CJ] A preamble which contains a statement of intent...

But isn't it the intent that really counts?

It is like the Clinton principle... if he said he intended to so something, that was as good as doing it, so he took credit for it. Something like that.
