Wow. 

I'll be patient as well, but I am pretty positive that you'll be all giddy and in everyone's face with an "I told you so" should the justices rule against Trump's e.o.

That is pretty low and pathetic.  Wanting to see the demise of this country is beyond deplorable and despicable.

Therefore, I don't care to read anymore of your digs towards others on this board (including myself) with your large laughing or face palm emojis, nor anymore of your shredded opinions. I'm all done with this thread.

The end.

The main reason I have nobody on my Ignore List is because I'm an Admin and must be able to see all the posts, even if they piss me off by personally attacking other members.  You are under no obligation to follow my example!

I wish I could be more optimistic about this, but...

The right is gonna lose this one.

The U.S. Supreme Court is not going to overturn a public policy that has been in effect since around 1869 and has affected millions on the basis of conflicting interpretations of a word or two. Not gonna happen.

I'll eat crow in front of everyone in the forum if it "goes the right way".
I'll be jumping for joy (not that I can be jumping much at all any more).

Applying the law as written is not poison.  It may have consequences you do not personally like, and it may have been a mistake in hindsight to write it the way it’s written, but it says what it says. 

Twisting words out of all meaning to accomplish a chosen political policy is what progressives do.  It’s fascinating seeing how many members here are willing to let their inner progressive show.

I always thought that fidelity to the rule of law was a conservative value, even if it meant taking your lumps.  Guess I was wrong.

Correction:  The law as you interpret as it's written.  You, sir, have no monopoly on that!  Cut our Briefers some slack...You know how I feel about personal attacks on fellow Members.

Please let us all know what you mean by "public policy" and what bearing that has on our Constitution.

You might be saying that the wording of our Constitution is superseded by some type of public habit?
