But you're forgetting the Supreme Court's - alternatively known as the the
Old Clowns Home - influence in all of this.  It matters little what the
people think, and less what is intelligent.  What matters is what they
think.  If they don't like, it will again be restricted.  If they do like
it, it won't be.

I'm not taking a for or against position here folks.  Just trying to point
out how screwed the system is, and how warped those that control it are.
Take a look at the Clinton case.  What country in the world has a sitting
leader trestify at a trial?  How intelligent was their decision to force
Secret Service agents to testify against the President, thereby jeprodizing
the relationship between the Office of the President and his/her bodygaurds.
