I work as tech support for a rather prestigious Law School and while fixing a computer for one of the professors, we got to talking about the Constitution. The Second Amendment in particular. Since I was short on time, he pointed me to his personal blog, which I found to talk a lot about the Constitution, including the unconstitutionality of a law that mandates education of the Constitution on Constitution Day.
I'll write more on this topic later, but I thought I'd direct you over to his blog before I forgot about it so that you can take a look at it.

I don't completely agree with your Law Professor, I agree with him for the most part.
Care to elaborate?

Looking forward to reading anything you are going to write about the constitution.
Seeing as you are a web developer maybe you can tell me why Firefox displays an unidentified character symbol (black diamond with an ? character) all over the place at the linked site. I rarely run into this. Looks fine in IE as much as I hate to open that app. And when I viewed the source and saved the file as an htm and opened that in Firefox it looked OK except of course for the now disassociated style sheets.
Please, please, please say this more of IE's failure to comply to web standards. But don't let my begging defer you from telling me the truth.
I've thought about writing about the Progressive (U) values of Firefox but I'm kinda waiting until I've check out IE more but I'm not real anxious to do that.

IE is notorious for not following W3C standards. You can use just about any junk code in it an it doesn't care (there are actually scripts that put zeros between the letters and IE ignores every single one of those zeros and renders the code, running the scripts).
As for your unidentified characters...I run Firefox as well and haven't had issues with that on that page. Do you have the latest version? Cascading Style Sheets are actually only fully supported by newer browsers (I haven't had issues with older versions of Firefox, either, but it might also depend on your Operating System).

on XP pro.
Maybe you didn't understand when I wrote "I viewed the source (in IE) and saved the file as an htm" that the style sheets weren't attached because I was looking at an htm file on my computer at that point (on Firefox). Anyway I should probably reinstall Firefox since it has been acting a little wonky. Yesterday the word conspiracy was stuck in my spell check suggestion for every word.. I don't want to know what that could mean.
I cringe at the thought of doing that because of all of the add ons I'll have to replace. Have you checked out Snap Links? You select links on a web page like selecting file icons in Windows Explorer, only by holding the right button and it will open the links in separate tabs. I only do two or three at a time here at ProgU though.

It must be your install of Firefox, then, since mine doesn't have any issues.
As far as Snap Links, I've found it easy enough to just right click and select "Open in New Tab" to not worry about that. My addons are simply things like FireFTP and Zotero (bibliography-making tool).
It's also possible that one of your addons is having issues. Have you tried running Firefox in safe mode yet?
