[quote]If a question has been determined to be "unable to be firmly resolved", then how can it also be "open to argument"? [/quote] Ah, the innocence of those untainted by any legal training in being able to argue not only anything but both sides. In my legal & personal experience, it is exactly those questions that cannot be firmly resolved that are argued over and over again. First at the district court level, then the appeals court, then the circuit court, and finally the Supreme Court where it may appear to be firmly resolved only to be reversed decades later when politically expedient or socially anathema. You need only take a look at the current social/legal hot button of when a human life legally begins (conception?, gestation? birth? or when a "soul" has been given ?) to see how there is no intenral conflict whatsoever in the first definition. Or to use a more relevant OCF comparison: Sort of like the PEG Wars
