You didn't acknowledge it that I percieved. Looking back now, since I don't remember exactly why I detected further argument, your use language still implies to me that you were trying to pull an argument win out of that side tangent, not simply bringing up another point:

It's not laziness.

ok.. so if you didn't think i acknowledged it then let met go ahead and officially acknowledge it. i acknowledge that the supreme court is influenced by popular opinion.

now that we're clear on that... is that the way it's supposed to work? what role is the supreme court actually supposed to play?

Is that a rhetorical question?

Do you know how to converse with people without making them feel stupid? I don't think you're capable of such a simple thing.

and yea... just as an aside... since i didn't challenge any of your assertions that the supreme court is influenced by popular opinion... and i responded with "that's interesting..." i dunno... most people wouldn't take that as a challenge to what they just said
