141. You're misrepresenting what has been said...
by both the courts AND the ACLU. The ACLU's statement uses "weasel words" like "primarily". Words which, when taken in their normal usage, don't state absolutes, like "exclusively".

The ACLU says it's "primarily a collective right"...that means that part of it is an INDIVIDUAL right, or they'd have left out the "primarily".

As for the courts, you keep pushing a completely bogus interpretation from the 9th Circuit, which relies on a factually incorrect misreading of Miller.

Lawrence Tribe has a stellar reputation for constitutional analyis, and solidly Liberal credentials. That's why Al Gore hired him. You're badly out of tune with much of the Democratic party, and constitutional scholars, even LIBERAL constitutional scholars.

"there's nothing so passionate as a vested interest disguised as an intellectual conviction."--Frank Herbert
