[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] [i]Personally, I think that if Jesse Jackson can shut up long enough for the REAL opinion of black people in general to come through, we'll find out that it has more support than you think. Polling data shows that they support it by a vast majority. If the Democrats shoot this one down, they're toast next time around. Unless, of course, Jessie Jackson finds a way to make it look like the GOP did it...[/i] You made the assertation right here. You make it appear to be a partisan battle ([i]If the Democrats...[/i]), while it is in fact a matter of Constitutional Law. Of course, you only see your little (tiny) world the way you want to be (which, incidently, ignores Constitutional procedural law most of the time), so that's kind of interesting. Er, in simpler terms: it doesn't matter what polls say. It matters what the Supreme Court has ruled. [i]I deny the validity of the Lemon test, based upon the wording and stated intent of the Consitution.[/i] So, wait, next time we have a gun debate I can challenge the wording and stated intent of the 2nd Ammendment and be right? WRONG! Omega, it doesn't really matter how you view it, it matters how the Supreme Court views it. And the Supreme Court views that it's gotta pass the Lemon test, so your little bout of self-importance there doesn't really make your point (in fact, your ignorance of the relationship between the Supreme Court and the Constitution hurt your argument more than anything else, thank you.) Oh, BTW: weren't you the one, Omega, who said that illogic isn't a valid debating tactic? Kindly listen to yourself. You wanna make your point? Don't bitch about wording. The Supreme Court has ruled and extrapolated from what was orginally worded. Come up with GOOD reasons why Bush's law would be legal. "Oooh, oooh, the Founding Fathers didn't mean it this way!" isn't a valid debating tactic, [i]thank you[/i]. Now, how does Bush's plan not violate the Lemon test? And, if it doesn't, as Omega said above, how does the majority support of any group of people make something constitutional when it clearly isn't? [/QB][/QUOTE]
