Ah, more insults. Keep them coming, by all means.

>When you say the "government", exactly what are you referring to?
All branches: Executive, Legislative, & Judicial. -- They do not define the Constitution; we, the people, do.
It is by the Constitution that we commissioned them, they do not dictate to us the terms of that commissioning.
Again: this is the nature of authority, the one who sends is of a higher authority than the one who is sent.
>> And altering the law is a function of the Legislative, is it not?

> Altering? The Legislative Branch is responsible for writing laws and the Judicial Branch for interpreting the laws.
While technically correct it is worth saying that the current judicial "interpreting" is not interpreting ("to perform or render"/"to explain something") but distorting to the point of redefining.
You stated, "I bet". Is betting/gambling legal where you live?
*shrug* ... I rather doubt using an expression/idiom of the English language is legally actionable.
It was just a simple question. Some states have legal gaming forms and others don't. Some states have restrictive gun laws and some like mine require no permits.
