WHOA, THERE!  That's one helluva claim...  

Care to cite some sources to back up your statement?

Your assertation that you're not just blowing smoke is all well and good, but
I'd rather see you cite a specific Federal statute or state your credentials 
as a lawyer or _something_ to give me a little more reason to believe what 
you say.
