"I simply asked you to defend your assertion with specifics."
Nope you didn't.
"That's my opinion, buttressed by the well reasoned opinions each of them presents for the court., that most people don't bother to read. I read each one, and I may not always agree with the conclusions they reach, but I have a deep respect for every last one of them."
"You wrote that, not me."
Yep I did
"I am asking you to defend this opinion"
But you didnt ask me to do that at all. You brought up a bunch of constitutional questions concerning many cases, some of which haven't yet been decided, therefore there have been no Supreme Court opinions written, for me to have an opinion about.
It appears that, as usual, you are reading more into my post than what is actually there. If you could narrow it down to something specific in my post, perhaps I could respond.
"Or you can choose to pretend I am not arguing with YOUR stated opinion."
Nope, I'm not pretending that. What you were doing was arguing with me about things I had expressed no opinion whatsoever about. That is one of your favorite tactics, setting up little strawmen.
