        Actually, Gus, I'm not sure about that. If I remember correctly,
        the two best Supreme Court Justices we've ever had weren't even
        lawyers (Learned Hand (yeah, that's his name)...and...DRAT!...
        What *was* his name? Help!) The point is, I'd rely on the native
        intelligence of the next guy to walk past the corner; rather
        than continue to face the next very experienced, very capable,
        and very elitist judge with an agenda and a social conscience.
        How hard would it really be for a commoner to simply *read* the
        Constitution, and apply it? Ernie P.
