When you say that Thomas is a swing vote, it shows that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. At all. You might as well call Scalia a swing voter, but I'm sure that you know JUST enough about the court to know that you suspect that he might be on the conservative side.
So you're disagreeing with Liq?

He has not said anything about a movement to amend the Constitution, he's said that the matter is settled unless there is a change to the document that would require revisiting the matter.
He said it was off one stage, he didn't say it was "settled" Unless you actually have a link to share?

I guess that I'll sit back with cynthetiq now and await the patented Willravel "agree to disagree" closure. But I've got to tell you that, on this particular subject at least, you really seem completely lost on a lot of the basics. Has your account been hijacked by someone? And I'm halfway serious about that question.
Nope, grammar and syntax match. It's me.

I only agree to disagree when my adversary isn't up to the intellectual task. You are up to the task, so don't expect me to "agree to disagree" with you or Liq.
