Mike,

May I draw you back into the fray to answer one question?

If one doesn't define unconstitutional as "... anything not specifically
listed in the U.S. or Tennessee constitutions,..." then what is the
definition of "unconstitutional"?

Thanks,

Ron

in other words, something is unconstitutional when it transgresses, or is
antithetical to, doctrines spelled forth in a constitutional  document. For
instance, there is nothing in the US or Tennessee constitutions that
explicitly gives me the right to wear turkey basters as earrings (not that I
would want to), but since that action doesn't transgress anything in the
constitution it would not be considered unconstitutional -- Same with Tenn
Care.
