I NEVER said I was a lawyer.
I misinterpreted your inquiry as something of substance, not semantics. Fine, you win, I hang my head in shame.
Please go back over what I wrote. It is not binary (remember, I'm not a lawyer) and requires some thought to connect the dots. Hint: the relation isn't direct, but is used to understand how language, in this case, ten simple words may be interpreted in context (Congress = teacher, law = rule in class).
I did catch H&C last night for the first time in quite a while: too much CBS-ing on that show for my taste.
I'm starting to really dislike Hannity for many reasons, a jaw-dropping lack or intellectual honesty being primary. Him turning into a right-wing version of Chris Matthews with a heaping helping of Lawrence O'Donnel being another.
I think Williams' comments more than verified my take on the issue, paraphrasing "this whole thing about the Declaration of Independence and Constitution has been blown way out of proportion, They are reprinted in full in my text books and are taught." Earth to Hannity: you were just made a fool of on your own show and you let that slide...
What was the Reuters headline, "Declaration of Independence Banned at Calif School"? Hmm, I don't see a retraction/correction on the wire yet...
I also found it interesting Williams' lawyer was on the show and hijacked a couple responses. But even the lawyer said that Williams doesn't have the right to espouse one religion over all others while at school. The quote that Colmes raised (twice before he got Williams to admit that he used it in class) closed the door on that issue.
Clearly, Colmes was the only of the pair who did any real homework. Sad as I am to say it, that seems to be the norm for those two.
I saved the program on my Tivo so I can provide a transcription when I have time, hopefully tonight. I want to make sure I get the quote and attribution Colmes raised correct before I provide it here.
