If his duty is to protect the rights of the people, he has the authority to fulfill his duty. It’s foolishness and a mockery to claim otherwise.

Sophistry is the hiding of the truth under a cloud of misleading words. The idea that I’m doing that is laughable. I don’t know of any candidate who is being as open and honest about his intentions as I am.

If you want sophistry and misrepresentation, go read any communication from the Romney campaign.

Yes. Typically by taking the meaning of a word in one context and applying it in another. Like carefully avoiding the historical context of when the federal government has always acknowleged a "person", and instead taking the word "person" in a different context and then transparently slipping that back into the first context.
