One for the not so swift among us-

... You wrote: People who constantly deal in hypotheticals are the ones who lack the intelligence or maturity to process the real world. So, you're saying that Supreme Court justices lack the aforementioned intelligence or maturity? No, I'm saying YOU do. You said "People who...", and unless you want to start slicing and dicing, that includes me, you, and everyone else. You made an all-inclusive statement. Now that we've established that, you're ready to understand that hypotheticals are constantly used by the best and the brightest. In Supreme Court transcripts, the justices will go on for hours, tossing hypothetical situations at lawyers to test new ideas. Various military & police entities have hired movie writers to come up with hypothetical scenarios involving security issues. You don't like hypotheticals because, as in this conversation, it puts you on the spot. You have to think and come up with an answer. Oh well. However, since my copy of the Constitution contains neither the word "gasoline", nor "global warming", nor "energy", nor "oil", nor "environment", my oath of office would compel me to do nothing. Really? Your president suggests things all the time which he thinks would make for a better country and a better world, and most of these things are in no way related to his constitutional mandate. It would be unpatriotic to not look out for the best interests of this country in every way possible. If the term "your president" is supposed to imply that I either voted for or support the policies of George W. Bush, you are entirely mistaken. Hey, if you look, walk, and sound like a duck, don't be surprised to be called a duck. Now, onward: Are you capable of answering the question, rather than arguing about tactics? |
