    Trump wasn't bumfoozled. Chris Matthews was such a jabbering idiot during that interview that as soon as Trump started to answer one question, he'd been asked four others. Most of them were the same, just with increased volume that somehow was supposed to make Trump look "bumfoozled."
    Even though Trump didn't necessarily give bad answers -- as I said, he really gave non-answers -- I suppose to you it looked like he was ready to press the button and nuke Paris, Brussels, Berlin and Moscow just for funsies 30 minutes after he wraps up his inauguration speech. It'd be sooner, but of course he has to celebrate first by fucking his daughter in the ass while snorting coke off a gay prostitute's belly.

    Maybe some of the Constitutional scholars around here can riddle me this:

    If abortion is made illegal, and doctors should be the only ones charged with a crime -- as Kasich, Cruz and now Trump all claim -- should not only drug dealers be charged with a crime, while drug users be allowed to roam free?

    That's not a constitutional question. It's a policy question. And, yes, some advocate that. (Remember the opening monologue of "Pulp Fiction"?) Same approach is often suggested for prostitution.

    During Prohibition it wasn't, as I understand it, illegal to purchase alcoholic beverages. It was just illegal to manufacture, transport or sell them.

    Reminds me of the famous "liquor loophole law" that existed in Louisiana until around 1995. It was illegal for 18-20-year-olds to buy alcohol, but it wasn't illegal to sell it to them. It was a law intended to protect bar and liquor store owners, but it made the de facto drinking age in Louisiana 18 years old. It also made college a hell of a lot of fun until the Feds threatened to cut off highway funding and they amended the state constitution to make it 21.

    Yeah, that's how Texas got an open container law too. IIRC there was around a hundred million dollars that they were going to pull, so the lege finally passed one.

    And thus ended one of my uncles' favorite pastimes: throwing beer bottles at road signs in Tennessee. I got to be pretty good at the passenger side window shot, but my youngest uncle was a master of the driver's-side-over-the-roof shot.
