    Because we have a Constitution

    Because that's the point.
    Thus begins the US Constitution.

    The First Amendment to the US Constitution reads:
    And this is the reason why not state harassment.

    And let's put it this way: JB's rejection acknowledged, it doesn't change the fact that many of the people who voted for Bush--the majority of people who voted for Bush--are comforted by the fact that there's a good Christian sitting in the Oval Office.

    Bush can assert his conscience as much as he wants as president, so long as his actions remain within Constitutional boundaries. And that is, indeed, quite a bit of leeway. Just watch his handling of "unlawful combatants". His conscience is laid naked there for everyone to see. In that case, JoeBlow has a point. But only if you really believe this kind of result to be a deviation from the Christian norm.

    thanx,
    Tiassa

    So Party A can't do Action X, but Party B can, and that makes it okay because the mighy old Constitution says so. Fair enough.

    Except a what-wha-huzzah-whozat?

    Adam, I would attempt to answer that but I'm not sure what you're asking.

    Were I to take a guess, I'd still be wrong because the nearest thing I can figure that you're asking isn't a real condition for consideration, but merely a theoretic to which I can only say, "I have no clue".

    So I'll leave it to you to decide how important the point is.

    thanx,
    Tiassa

    How important? Not very important at all. It won't matter until/unless I decide to go into politics. I'm reasonably certain that if I do go into politics, I'll end up the most productive and most hated man in Australian political history, even more so than Jeff Kennet.
