It nice you have feelings about what Article 2 means. Unfortunately Justice Scalia is what is known as an "expert witness". He is a Supreme Court Justice while you are merely some self appointed Know It All. His opinion carries legal weight in our system, your opinion is meaningless noise.

It nice you have feelings about what Article 2 means.

You still completely misunderstand, don't you?

My point was simply that Article II, section 2 of the Constitution has nothing to do with the power of Congress to prevent the Federal courts from hearing cases. Congressman Billybob agreed with me, by admitting that he had misquoted Scalia, who had actually cited Article III, not Article II. Did you get that? That was the only point at issue. Nothing else. Now go away.

Elsewhere in this thread I noted that there is an error in the slip opinion which refers to Article II, where it should be Article III, which contains the judiciary provisions of the Constitution.

As for your opinion of my opinions, kindly tell me how many winning briefs you have filed in the Supreme Court. I have filed eight of them. And lastly, Rush Limbaugh quoted my article with approval, and due credit, on-air yesterday.

I'll take the approval of Rush Limbaugh over your approval, any day of the week. (And that's the third time he's quoted my legal/political articles with approval.)

So I have given your opinion the due credit it deserves, and put it in the round file.

Have a nice day.
