Then, it occurs to me that, Shirley, those persons most loudly opposed to this resolution must have it at their fingertips, since they know what it says for sure, for sure. Clearly, they would not be here tearing their hair and shrieking if they didn’t. Certainly they wouldn’t be throwing such a fit without actually reading the thing.

Well, since I’m neither tearing my hair nor shrieking, I suspect you must have mistaken me for someone else.

And since I didn’t say anywhere that a “non-binding” resolution carries the force of law, you definitely must be mistaking me for somebody else.

So there you go, problem solved. Bring on the cite, point out the relevant passages, show us where I said that a non-binding resolution carries the force of law.

Or, you pour yourself a big ol’ cup of STFU.
