No, but I probably would want to get a second and maybe third opinion instead of just going on the first one I hear.

Perhaps I know what I'm talking about?
That really depends on whether the account and the medical doctor shared their educational background with me, or tried to keep it a secret while I decided which one was more creditable to give me an opinion on a medical issue. That's what you did, you wanted us all to accept your "superior knowledge" on the constitution without telling us if you're a plumber, lawyer or unemployed wantta be rock star.

Since you're all apparently con law scholars, you must clearly understand what this amendment means. When are you entitled to a civil jury?

I mean, clearly the meaning of this is plain, right?

^^ This.

Betamanlet, don't you think it's just a little childish to spend your days on here making these bitter posts branding all "libs" as the same and trying to pick some ridiculous straw man argument?

So is it possible that liberals are wrong on obamacare when they didn't know what the 7th amendment meant?


Wow.

I'm a lawyer too. I also took con law (I and II) and passed the bar.

However, knowing "the constitution" does not add much to the most robust debate about the constitution --- that is, is its most controversial portions adaptable document to be read in spirit, or a static document to be read on its face?

Oh, and making illogical conclusions such as "If you didn't get the 1st day law school lecture on the distinction between common law and equity, you don't understand the 7th Amendment, so you must a) be a liberal, and b) not be able to discuss any of the other Amendments" is very.... um.... nonsensical.

I don't know why you think the premise of the thread or the conclusion you draw is in any way compelling?

After all, the ACLU is chock full of constitutional lawyers. Liberals.

You claim to be a lawyer and you use generalizations in your arguments?


Remind me to never hire you.

Please, speak from your personal knowledge, and not a google search.
When you stop using google to create a thread and become the owner of the forum, you can then dictate how people should respond, please.
