If you're trying to say that lawyers have fornicated up the constitution, I won't disagree.

No, I was trying to say exactly what I did say. I give you credit for understanding that the Constitution is a short document intended to lay out some basic principles to be applied to an infinite number of different situations as they come up through history, which duty falls to our courts. As decisions are made, they become the basis for later decisions. Otherwise our law would have no continuity and people could not know from week to week how to conform to it.

Your postings seem to suggest that you believe just about anyone, given the ability to read and write the English language is qualified to engage in forging Constitutional law for our Republic. Specialists such as "lawyers" only obscure the clear language of a short document. Is this what you mean to say?

You understand me perfectly. I don't agree with Shakespeare, "first kill all the lawyers." Exiling them to Antarctica or outer space should be sufficient.

I don't know what he means but I'll be a bit more blunt. The forging of Constitutional Law by the best and brightest since 1939 has left us with Constitutional law resembling the innards of a deer spread on the ground awaiting burial.
