TECHNICALLY!??!!?! 
That's like saying the unlawful killing of a human being by another human being with malice aforethought is "technically" murder.

But......we face the same dilemna (sic) as the former SCOTUS law clerks faced;
do the rules, or at least the "playing field", standards of decorum, protocal (sic),
whatever you prefer to call it in this unprecedented set of circumstances,
when the SCOTUS issues decisions of such import and impact and then
specifically declares that the rulings apply only in one case, Gore v. Bush, to
the detriment of one man, Gore, and the unidentified voters disenfranchised by the Scotus decision, and to the benefit of another man, Bush? In such a
situation, are "all bets off"? Here is an excerpt of one lawyer's opinion:

Dude, that's what courts DO. They decide cases that positively affect one party and negatively impact another party. And why do I give a shit what Bugliosi thinks? He's just another asshole with a J.D., and I know a LOT of assholes with J.D.s. You should read some of the insane shit that dribbles from the pens of J.D.s. For example, I know one personally that, in all seriousness and with a straight face, wants to extend to all animals the "right to not be property." He's a raving fucking LUNATIC, and a law professor at a prestigious First Tier school. Then again, I know a fat little chubby guy with WAY too much hair that's the number one guy at another First Tier school, who is notorious for wandering around campus wearing Tevas, nasty old sweatpants and a holey, heavily stained black t-shirt, but has a mind like an old-school beartrap. You don't have to be a flipping genious to have a J.D., I'm living proof of that, and my sheepskin came from a First Tier school, not a box of Samoan Cheerios. Here Endeth the Lesson. (feeling kinda Biblical this AM for some reason, and I'm an Agnostic)
