Reader comments about this quote:

Great question. The answer is No! -- J Carlton, Calgary
In case of the federal government, the answer is yes. And black is white and up is down. Nancy Pelosi told me so. -- jim k, austin
J Carlton and jim I like it. The answer is absolutely NO!!! Right and wrong, yes and no, up and down, all being convertible terms' of the current statist theocracy, combine in an abstract concept that allows for lying, stealing, cheating, enslaving, power mongering, corruption and criminality of all types and just out right stupid. Of course all is defined through the government's tabloid media complex to establish and support the all important popular opinion. -- Mike, Norwalk
The Earl Warren and Burger courts never went by the constitution, but by "popular public opinion!" -- cal, lewisville, tx
