- kelnos 9y agoYes, I understand that. Please don't fling URLs around as a substitute for discussion. The court dismissing the idea that there is a 3rd Amendment issue could exactly be what the parent was talking about, if he does indeed believe it was a 3rd Amendment issue.
- mindslight 9y agoYes, exactly. It would be tautological to consider the Supreme Court's decision to be the final word on the truth of the matter - doing so would imply that it's impossible for the government to systematically violate any rights/laws.
