[Boot Hill]

Like I said you lied, the only two-tiered system of powers ever promoted by anyone on this thread has been by you:

Boot Hill:   "Please recall, that the two-tiered system of powers I chided you about was one you suggested based on your false dichotomy between explicit and inherent powers."

Boot Hill:   "For the umpteenth time, that is incorrect, the two-tier system of powers that you attempted to introduce, and which I rejected, was a system you constructed on the false dichotomy of inherent versus explicit powers. There is no basis in law for such a system, and there is no comparison between that and what the Truong case held. Please stop beating this dead horse. "

The topic under discussion is the legality of the President authorizing warrantless foreign intelligence intercepts. I'm loosing patience with your lies and attempts at digression, either find something constructive to offer to the debate, or go away.

That's about as much of a lie as been told by anyone on this thread. Quoting your own previous lies to support it doesn't make it any more true.

The topic under discussion is the legality of the President authorizing warrantless foreign intelligence intercepts.

Look, if you don't want to own up to your own contradictory statements that I've pointed out, that's your choice, but you'd have to realize that it's impossible to continue a rational debate as long as you insist on maintaining mutually contradictory positions as if they're both true.

I already summed up where you went wrong on the issue of legality here, and you've had nothing truthful to say in response to it.
