Cute. Insulting me doesn’t change the fact that LG is one hell of a great Constitutional Scholar.
You know, The Constitution. Not your “implied” logic, not the Gospel according to Justice Chase, but the REAL THING.
Again, in his own mind. And your's. Lentulusgracchus is a whiz at giving his opinion on what the Constitution means and what is Constitutional and what is not. That doesn't mean that he's right.

And who decides what is the REAL THING? You? Him? If that is so then you'll forgive me for being underwhelmed. Your opinions are so far out of line from men like Madison and Marshall that it isn't even funny any more. Well, it's still funny. But it's also a bit tiresome.
Someone just pointed out to me that Lincoln didn't have a solicitor general; the post didn't exist until 1870. A rough job description of SG is to argue the case for existing law to the Supreme Court, defending the constitutionality of all the laws Congress has made and executive orders the presidents have signed. That would explain the SG's homering brief for the D.C. gun laws in the current gun case that will be decided this week or next (or rather, announced -- decision's made).
