:sigh: I can't figure out if you are actually as clueless as you seem, or if you are just doing it to annoy me.
There is big "P" Political, which encompasses everything that the Government does.
Then, there is a division of powers, where we have the legislature do "political" things (you can replace the word "political" here with "policy" if that helps you), and the courts deal with "legal" things.
It's pretty clear the discussion of Mary Cheney's kid is big "P" Political.
But to the question of privacy, there is small p "political" things that can and should be done about it. I've stated my preferences. From a "legal" standpoint, it's an entirely different issue.
Do you get it yet? Or do you need to go back to PoliSci 101?
Clear to you.
The rest of us have stated over and over that we are not offering political arguments or demanding that our politicians do anythign about it.
Strawmen.
