Why do you think Leo Donofrio is credible? Before 2008 he is a legal cypher - no legal cases, no publications, no mention anywhere to indicate he was a practicing lawyer. Why should anyone regard him as a Constitutional scholar?

Fallacy: Circumstantial Ad Hominem

  1. Person A makes claim X.

  2. Person B makes an attack on A's circumstances.

  3. Therefore X is false.

I will restate Harlan1196's claim against snafubar:
"You either do not have the intellectual capability to comprehend and contribute to discussions on the Constitution and the Law, or you are not permitted to do so (for reasons unstated). You therefore must rely upon authorities to tell you what is the proper way of thinking about the Constitution and the Law, and also for any analysis, interpretation and result of the application of Constitution and Law.

And you must choose among only those authorities I approve of.
