DiogenesLamp: "Mockery isn't much of an argument. I guess it makes you happy or something, but it doesn't impress me."

You puffed yourself up as the ultimate authority on what is & is not constitutional.
I've merely given you constitutional permission (via "pre-preamble") to play god over us.

So feel free to turn down your appointment to god-ship if that was not, in fact, what you really meant.

[DiogenesLamp]

You puffed yourself up as the ultimate authority on what is & is not constitutional.

Perhaps you got that impression, but that is entirely of your imagination, just as is many of your more creative "interpretations" and arguments.

I merely point out that we don't need people to interpret plain language for us, especially when their interpretation contradicts what the language plainly says.

If my saying people can think for themselves has you believing I am the ultimate authority on constitutional meaning, then you are reading a lot more out of it than I am putting into it.
