Lines: 14 In his last article, Greg Kuperberg states that he wants his law to come from "three men" or nine or twelve. Sorry Greg, but our laws do not come from that few. I assume you are talking about our court system when you say this. Well, to just set things in order, our laws come from our elected legislative representatives, not the courts. The courts only interpret the laws (and thus, sometimes, rejuggle the law's meaning). As an aside, is everyone enjoying the annual handgun debate? This topic and abortion seem to generate enough missinformation and bull belch to choke a horse. Keep it up folks, there are only 10 more days left before the topic dies of sheer boredom.|-) T. C.
