up to here with ad hominem attacks

Listen folks, just stop, okay?

Attacking a person's character does nothing for you. It gets your argument nowhere (takes it back a step because the audience wonders why you aren't arguing points with substantive merit) , it makes you look cheap, and it pisses off your audience.

Last week a guest speaker came to one of my student org meetings. I wanted to duct tape his mouth shut before the lecture was half over. The purposed lecture was supposed to be a discussion of why bans on direct shipping of premium wine violate the Commerce Clause of the Constitution and are an unhealthy holdover from prohibition stifling business and supporting near monopolies. Although the speaker hit those topics, he also drew a number of straw men to be slaughtered, created some laughable analogies that wouldn't last as long as a Peep in a Microwave, and finished by making disparaging remarks about the Supes.

I have my own issues with some members of the highest court, but I don't make my arguments by assassinating their characters.
