It all goes to the relevant and overriding mindset of people like tw who want to pick and choose which Constitutional protections and laws derived therefrom are admirable and commendable to uphold and which can be subverted by his Democracy of One. The current atmosphere, in which infringement on protections occurs without condemnation (sometimes even with admiration and commendation), was created by tw and his ilk.
Abdul-Jabbar's comments may have been widely seen as admirable and commendable at some point in the past; but, are today reduced to being quaint and outdated. Tw has been identified by others here as promulgating outdated information and ideas in his self centered obsession to always be right. He turns a blind eye to those who's Constitutional rights and protections under law are being infringed when he doesn't agree that they should have them. Then he complains if he even thinks others are doing the same in matters that he advocates. Yet, he'll never connect the two, he'll always keep them separate in his mind, just as he keeps himself separate from the mainstream. He apparently thinks that denying the relevancy of his hypocritical behavior between issues helps obfuscate his systematic double standards.

Oh that tw, not one brain in his poor old head. He still hasn't caught on that I'm procrastinating on the issue to mine the entertainment value in addressing his absurdities. So now I've had to explain it to him. The issue will still be there tomorrow and a hundred years from tomorrow. Tw, not so long: Algernon syndrome you know.
