Your freedom of speech rebuttal is, frankly, brilliant. Well done, sir. That being the case, you agree that the constitution needs interpretation, and you trust the courts to make it, so long as you agree with that interpretation.
Shrug.

That's your opinion and you're welcome to it, but honestly, you haven't shown me any fault in the logic.

And I've never said that the Constitution doesn't need interpretation, so I'm not sure where your last comment comes from. Of course I am free to agree or disagree with SCOTUS, aren't I?
