Wow--all that is very scary, Anna, considering the power of the Supreme Court. Not that I would feel comfortable saying that all judges would always correctly interpret the intent of the law!

What's even scarier than the judges being able to pick and choose their definitions is that this means that laws should be written v-e-r-y carefully...and as often as not, legislators just aren't all that bright. To say nothing of being out of their depth on specific topics.

I was interested to see that Mr. Nunberg put "AN" AAA street map. I don't know anybody who doesn't say "triple A" for AAA, meaning we would say "a triple A street map". Maybe it's different in other parts of the country?
