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.

Do you think the war on “terrah” is a joke?
Who knows upon what information the US government is acting upon. I don’t, so I
can’t comment.

I’m glad *some* senators are calling it what it is--

Hey John, why do you hate Canadians so much?

Let me count the ways:
- They aren’t even a real country anyway.
- Their hockey hullabaloo
- That bitch Anne Murray too
AND they talk funnily.
