In logic, one counter-example is devastating.

In the real world, one counter-example is expected.

Only when that logic is boiled down to one size fits all.... which is not logical.

If you fear bar removal enough, someone will eventually tell you bars are being removed to get you to vote for the barman.

The barman is the Constitution, so I'd vote for him whatever the somebody is telling me.

This is a no-holds-barred thread! You've got people barging in, barking up the wrong tree, basically behaving like Bart Simpson. :::barf:::

Eat my shorts.
Violations of/to the constitution, instituted, even if never actually used, hang over all of us like the sword of Damocles. We all suffer from these indignities.

No, we can't reach the bar because it's at the top of the slippery slope. It's okay though because my generation doesn't remember a time when we could reach the bar... Maybe I'll put a bar in my basement.

Except that it's not a violation. Biggie says it is because he misinterpreted it.
