No, you are misreading my statements...but it is because we are talking about two different things. I am talking about the Patriot Act, what it says and what it doesn't say. You are talking about beliefs and religion and everything except the law as it is written. We are talking on parallel lines.
Which means that, according to you, the national government can pass an illegal law, but if the national government doesn't recognize that it is an illegal law, then it's legal.
Why, that's just silly. It's illegal from the moment it's enacted. No matter what the national government says. Calling the sky green doesn't change its shade of blue one degree.
