SarahWitch, the premier expert on American law.

It’s truly not clear to me whether her big issue is defending the actual CSA as it was, or defending the theory (for lack of a better word) that the People, even today, are sovereign over the 50 states who in turn are sovereign over the Feds.

I made what I thought was a clear & gently helpful post to draw her out. It was dismissed with a sentence saying in effect: “You don’t get it, goofball!” She then restated my thesis as agreeing with most of it.

Either way she’s a monomaniacal wacko. I think the esteemed Moriarty nailed it here:

IOW certain magic sentences must be incanted just so and enlightenment just poofs into existence. Recasting those sentences into other equivalent words neuters them utterly.

I notice that as of now (~0930 eastern on Sunday) it’s been 34 hours since her first post. She’s up to 98 posts. I also note that she took a 6 hour break from ~5am eastern to noon eastern on Sat, so 7 hours of rest. Then she started back in full tilt and didn’t quit until she started her current break at about ~4am eastern Sun.

She’s either quite the night owl, or lives in Hawaii, or both. Hawaii is an odd place for CSA enthusiast concerned with the 13 colonies’ original arrangements. Whatever else Hawaii was, it sure wasn’t an original signatory to the US constitution.

More likely she lives in the South and so probably the eastern time zone. Where all the best craziness occurs between midnight and sunrise.

I await her return around noon today. Fresh as a daisy and fully recharged. Perhaps fired by the Holy Spirit as well. Should be fun. For head-banging values of “fun”. :slight_smile:
