So I guess my attempt to elevate this to a Constitutional issue is still full of all kinds of holes, huh?... *Sigh*, I gave it my best shot. :-(
Thank you, professor. And I sincerely mean that (and, of course, I most humbly take back my claim that you don't understand this stuff). If there is anything else you could add to clear up my confusion, I'd appreciate hearing it from you (and I won't argue any longer with you about it!). :-)
