General Discussion

As long as we're perfectly clear that this is all "IN MY OPINION" and based on what you believe to be logical inferences (which, again, is purely your opinion).

There is, however, no point in trying to test your argument, if those are the parameters.

If I question the following statement, which you just made: "But I will add here that Congress is in a position of increased imprimatur" and you can simply say, "I didn't say it IS, I just stated my opinion," there's no discussion there. It's just you making assertions and then, if the assertions are challenged as not being quite in concord with your signature line, saying "I said it was just opinion, dude."
