You're the one who's playing semantic games. I never made the claim that
calling them neo-nazis was more than my opinion. I don't think you had
any comment about my use of that phrase until just now. As far as I can
tell, I'm not a simple minded liberal. As far as I can tell, the Bush
administration
is very, very far out of the mainstream thinking in this country.

Calling someone on words like "neo-nazi" isn't semantic games. It's simply
insisting that intellectual honesty is preferable to simple-minded labels.

I agree that the Supremes have gone astray, beginning perhaps with the
reapportionment cases. But they've gone astray in substituting for honest
analysis, constitutional text and principle their collective notions of
what
happens to be a good idea today, by dreaming up penumbrae and what they
call
"fundamental notions of fairness" for the words those folks sat down and
wrote, and the States voted on, back in 1789.
