Anyway, the point is this: StanT says I'm selectively quoting. However, the Supreme Court (the supreme interpreters of the constitution!!!) itself, considers the two portions separately. One as 'prefatory' (in other words, the purposes for the amendment), and the other as 'operative' (what the amendment actually in fact protects).
Legal acrobatics indeed.
