Tis some mighty fine legal dots you’ve connected there, lhp – mighty fine.

Hear, hear!

Great stuff, lhp!

Your reading of Comey seems to me first-rate. Cautious, conservative eople like Comey and Goldsmith don’t put all their chips on the table unless the stakes are exceedingly high. Christ, Ashcroft put his chips on the table too! And Mueller as well.

Suzanne @ 82

Is it illegal to flash the peace sign or have they yet to declare that to be a ‘gang sign’?

Apparently some school in the South banned a student “Peace” group…because the peace sign might be construed as a “gang sign” that would lead students to be violent.
…

“flashing” a peace sign is a form of speech and as such is protected by the Constitution.

Of course, the Repubs in the debate were all radical absolutist on gun rights for individuals. they said no compromises, no infringement whatsoever. But, would they protect free speech the same way. Would they protect the right to ‘flash’ a peace sign?

They seem to think that ONLY rights mentioned in the Constitution exist. Apparently they don’t read well and haven’t gotten to the 9th Amendment yet.

Christine Edmonson @ 191

Just finished watching Charlie Rose. I have to say, John Edwards was wonderful. He’s my candidate.

I thought he was good on KO too.

Charles Gibson had interviewed him, too, was on tonite… Most prolific today…
