So, in effect, Gonzales is arguing to the point of *total* arbitrarity.

Agreed. By being literal. But I think he did so to counter Specter’s
obtuse literalism.
|
Are you saying that you think Gonzales was joking? Or that he genuinely ought
to “fight stupidity with even greater stupidity”?

I have no idea. All I’m saying is that if you hold to a strictly literal
interpretation of the Constitution (as Dave initially suggested), you can get
absurd conclusions, as both Specter and Gonzales have illustrated.
And so the game goes on.
