Guest A is not at all stupid; neither are you Guest. Thing people seem to be missing is that the interpretation of the Constitution (and the first ten amendments commonly known as the Bill of Rights) cannot be left in the hands of one man. Especially if that man is George Bush. Whether or not Bush referred to the Constitution as a Goddamned piece of paper or not, interpretation of that noble document should take many heads working together, considering ramification, etc. Somehow, Canadian that I am, I always thought that was the prerogative of the American Supreme Court. I stand to be corrected. (I am aware of the function played by Congress, btw.)
