Ok, I’m no lawyer. Just a mom in IL trying to wrap my brain around all this idiocy but can someone please explain to me this “unique” argument that you all are talking about?

What does being “unique” have to do with it? I don’t give a rip if it is, still doesn’t mean I should have to buy something I don’t want. An energy with bull piss in it is unique and I may or may not want to buy it.

Your brilliant, incisive legal analysis proves once again why 99 times out of a hundred I would much rather listen to regular folks concerning law and constitutionality than any lawyer.

"Every word employed in the Constitution is to be expounded in its plain, obvious, and common sense, unless the context furnishes some ground to control, qualify, or enlarge it. Constitutions are not designed for metaphysical or logical subtleties, for niceties of expression, for critical propriety, for elaborate shades of meaning, or for the exercise of philosophical acuteness or judicial research. They are instruments of a practical nature, rounded on the common business of human life, adapted to common wants, designed for common use, and fitted for common understandings. The people make them, the people adopt them, the people must be supposed to read them, with the help of common-sense, and cannot be presumed to admit in them any recondite meaning or any extraordinary gloss."

-- Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, Constitution (5th ed.) 345, SS 451.
