Did you disagree because you thought they got it right?

I didn't say that my interpretation should govern. Obviously, it should not. I'm saying mine is right, theirs is wrong, and we ought to work to change both the law and the interpretations until crimes are punished under criminal law, and debts and other such things are handled under civil law. Punishing crimes under civil law is wrong. IN MY OPINION, BY MY STANDARDS.

"Punishing crimes under civil law is wrong."

Fine. Guy robs a bank, they've got it on video, he confesses, his lawyer gets him off because some rookie cop forgets to read him his Miranda rights, and he gets to keep the money -- IN YOUR OPINION, BY YOUR STANDARDS.

No. I simply interpreted the U.S. Constitution differently.
