Through its interpretation of existing laws, new laws are created by cities, states and Congress. You'll agree that these entities have power to create law by the legislative process. So please tell me, if you can, which of these entites "created" the law that requires a criminal defendant to be provided with an attorney if he cannot afford one? Which created the law that calls for suspects to be Mirandized? Think, fog's breath, think! Legislation was needed to establish the Cohan Rule. A court's interpretation may have set up the basis for the Cohan Rule but legislation is needed to flush out the details and make it a workable aspect of tax law. The Cohan Rule was created by the Supreme Court; NEVER by any legislature. In fact, after 60+ years, Congress actually passed a law that was effectively based on the Cohan Rule in 1986, specifically, in the Committee Reports, referring to Cohan as the basis for the law. Cohan was created in the Supreme Court, NOT by any legislature. Stupid is as stupid does! You like to stay off point so you can make up the rules as you go along. Its how you argue on this thread. Fortunately, our gov't is not so poorly structured. The Miranda Act and the Cohan Rule were put into law with legislation, and not by the SC. Maybe in another life you will get it! Your head's to far up your butt in this one!

Ted Kennedy in his own words................ <font color=red>The trumped up reasons for going to war have collapsed. All the Administration's rationalizations as we prepared to go to war now stand revealed as "double-talk." The American people were told Saddam Hussein was building nuclear weapons. He was not. We were told he had stockpiles of other weapons of mass destruction. He did not. We were told he was involved in 9/11. He was not. We were told Iraq was attracting terrorists from Al Qaeda. It was not. We were told our soldiers would be viewed as liberators. They are not. We were told Iraq could pay for its own reconstruction. It cannot. We were told the war would make America safer. It has not. Before the war, week after week after week after week, we were told lie after lie after lie after lie. <font color=black>
