I commend you for you participation in this forum.  I have the utmost respect for your legal opinions, and your willingness to share them on this board. I might not agree with you on every issue, but that is what the meaningful exchange ideas is all about.  I also draw distinction between someone like you, who has knowledge of the law, and someone who has no idea about the subject, but has an unqualified opinion just the same.  It is unfortunate that there is not more participation by those who have an understanding of the law. I also miss contributors like Lawschong, Liberalman and the others who have moved on.  I feel that the caustic replies by the uniformed and the borderline illiterates contributed to their leaving.
