'This guy is no longer a patriot because of a bad divorce? Are you kidding me? This guy has some serious issues.'
Another Constitutional scholar and psychologist, huh? I'll make an analogy in case your attention span is long enough to take heed:
It seems to me you would argue that a real blackjack player would, under duress, continue to sit, play, and have all that he owns taken at a Vegas table where the dealer is handing a Joker to the only other player at the table on every hand.
After recognizing how he'd been had, as the man up and walked dazed from the table, you'd likely postulate with glee 'This guy is no longer a blackjack player because of a few bucks lost gambling? Are you kidding me? This guy has some serious issues.'
Picture, if your attention span allows, the substitution of one's children for the gambling losses (actually, add them together) after being forced to sit at this crooked table by a dealer backed with the full power of your beloved American justice system.
I welcome you to the crooked table, my friend. My seat is available now. What's that, you don't want a seat? Ahhhh, I see. Well why don't you sit down anyway... Or, perhaps I'll reserve that seat for one of your cherished descendents or other loved ones. Surely one of them will play...
