I always puzzle about what that means, specifically the word "interpret". A good judge should be vetted for his/her academic understanding of the intent of the framers based on their written opinion and law. In that sense, a good judge will rule on her belief of what the framers would do rather than what they would do. If that's a fair assumption, then their work should be judged on their strength of their reasoning and therefore obvious on the intent of their rule. If we agree on that, then any judge should be able to rule on any issue. Therefore discrediting them due to some perceived lack expertise is ridiculous. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:225153 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
