This is how lawyers make a living - parsing, deconstructing. If Bill Clinton - a lawyer - can dispute the meaning of the word “is” then this comma thing will go on forever.

Parsing and deconstruction is fine, if it leads to the truth. The 'toon, Giuliannie, other politicians and a great number of others use parsing and deconstruction for the purposes of hiding the truth and lying. It's part of a con. The Bill of Rights are in plain English, so at least those who are concerned about and value the truth own't be conned.
