"The question of whether only Congress may suspend it has never been authoritatively answered to this day" - Chief Justice William Rehnquist, speech to Indiana University Law School students, 1999

Yep. It all comes down to -your- opinion vs that of the Chief Justice.

Not in the least, Walt. Unless Bill Rehnquist is a freeper posting here, his opinion only appears in appeals to it by somebody else...such as you. Hence the argument is between my evidence and your evidence. As it stands right now your evidence ammounts to one quote by Bill Rehnquist plus a lot of mindless idiocy of your own. By contrast, I've got quotes by three supreme court justices including in a ruling, statements by several of the founding fathers including Jefferson, and the record of debates at the Constitutional Convention itself. It is obvious who has the stronger case, Walt, and it ain't you.
