This has been a very interesting and informative thread, considering the sparse number of commenters involved. Though quite a bit longer than I expected it to be, I had to read the entire thing.

"I have taken no stand on its correctness."

You certainly seem to have taken some pains to avoid appearing to do so, but a careful reading of your commentary suggests otherwise. At #22 You (BG22) stated:

"You can apply your own logic to whatever quotes of Paine and Jay you care to cherry-pick, but until the courts agree with you, your argument remains a loser.

1. Straight-up Alinskyite bs. Explain how my logic is flawed or retreat from your supposition.

2. Show where I even cited a specific text by Paine or Jay, let alone where I "cherry picked" any quotes by them. Or are you instead suggesting that any quotes by Paine or Jay et al will perforce be "cherry picked?" Definite bias showing there.

3. "Your argument remains (and by extension, you also remain) a loser." Nice.

A trifecta in a single sentence. Impressive. And a fair attempt at subtlety in that last.

Nice try, but you’re missing the obvious.

Until the courts agree with you, your argument remains a loser. Once they agree, you’ve got a winner.

Couldn’t be clearer. It has nothing to do with what I consider correct or incorrect — I’m speaking simply of success or failure in court, and my conclusions are completely self-evident.
