(2,720 posts)Please note though, that the key word in that quote is "essentially". As illustrated by the phrase "he was essentially faithful to his wife", that word is not an actual factual argument about law - more of a rhetorical one.
Now, unlike you, I've written half a dozen times that I don't take issue with people on the other side of this debate using rhetoric. If you wish to argue that the law is legal, but it is bad and should be changed, that does not make you an extremist - because you at least acknowledge reality. But when you start throwing around the words "Unconstitutional" and "Illegal" to things that have repeatedly been found the opposite at every opportunity for the courts to review it, then you are off into places where we can't even begin to have a debate.
