No, a dodge would be suggesting that your opponent is dodging the main question, which is:

You really don’t get to determine what my main question is.


What difference does your agreement with the dissenters on the Court make?

What difference does your agreement with the majority make?


They were the side who did not prevail, the CSA, as it were, to the majority’s USA.

Now you’re comparing dissenting Supreme Court justices to the Confederate States? You have gone far afield, dude. Far, far, far fucking afield.


Where this started: You said that you accepted the argument of the Supreme Court. I asked you if you accept all Supreme Court arguments, or just this one. You are now attempting to compare dissenting Supreme Court judges to states seceding over the issue of slavery. The comparison to the civil war is incredibly stupid; there are many issues that have been re-examined by the Supreme Court and rulings that have changed previous interpretations by the court. 5-4 decisions show that there are solid arguments (constitutionally) on both sides. In this case, I feel the dissenters had the stronger argument, while I accept that the supporters view held and that this is now law.

Stop trying to make this about treason. It’s stupid as shit.
