Mary, Your use of the terms "your side" and "you and those on the right" - is extremely polarizing and exactly the opposite of what Dale encourages here. When you have the best jurists in the nation split, when trained lawyers tell you that conlaw is extremely difficult and often can be (and IS) argued either way, for you to boil it down to one paragraph quotes and say how obvious it is, strikes me as extremely arrogant. I am not in disagreement with the decision, and I havne't gotten the impression that Lane3 is either. But what I am getting from reading this morning is the opposite side of Scalia's emotional basis, only from the left. It's fine to be pleased with the result, as I am, but it isn't obvious just because you like it, or simple because it pleases your own sense of right and wrong. (Obviously it displeased Scalia's). I think Lane had the right approach to going back and taking care of the definitions of this new modern type of war, and trying to clear up the fuzziness of the status. Anyway, To be told you are on a "side" is insulting.
