THEY BOTH LIVED A LOT LONGER
Re: William C. Duncan’s A Good Attorney Is Hard to Find:

If marriage wasn’t good enough for (then) Governor Moonbeam and First Lady of California, Linda Ronstadt, maybe it isn’t worth a damn to Attorney General Brown today.

CAVEAT DIPLOMAT
Re: Tom MacKay’s letter (under “The Constitution is Crime-Thought”) in Reader Mail’s Taking No Solis:

Tom MacKay pines for a Constitutional Amendment that says that “no treaty shall supersede the Constitution of the United States.”

Actually, Mr. MacKay, we don’t need one. Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution states that the President “shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur.”

There are, of course, two caveats.

Caveat First: we must have 35 Senators with moxie -- in at least one out of two opportunities -- when advising and when consenting by concurring.

Caveat Second: Joe “I Got Moxie” Biden will find that clause in [i] Article I[/i] of his copy.
