Relax, it's really me.  I was attempting to stimulate discussion by posing a 
possible alternative meaning to what Justin is saying.  I disagree with the 
basic concept of their entire case.   I think the AsG had the right to sue 
the tobacco companies, but I will *never* believe that anyone should be even 
*contemplating* circumventing the Constitution. Further, if it can be proven 
that the action they took does that, and is legal under current law, that it 
is a loophole which should be closed as rapidly as possible.
