I'm sure you would interpret it that way. Most of your "interpretations" of my posts have been pretty self-serving.

Most of your interpretations have been defense of treason.

I suppose from your perspective - loopy as it is - that's a true statement.

My statement proceeds, by short and obvious steps, directly from the constitution. It is practically self-evident.
