JoannOne of the little themes I run across in law school is whether "reasonable people can disagree" on something. A lot of times this board illustrates that perfectly for me. Just read this thread for the passion, thought and intellect that people have put into supporting their respective positions, even as the positions themselves vary widely. So many different shades of this issue have emerged. Talk about reasonable people disagreeing. Just an observation.
Oh, and I didn't know there were multiple copies of the Decl of Ind. Duh. I guess I've kind of heard that but didn't realize they weren't commemorative reproductions or something like that (although very "old reprints", lol). Does the US have more than one copy in its custody? That does really make the cutting up of the D/I a valid example, and puts a different spin on the issue. For me at least.
