: One would presume that what you said about AND is
: true. However, look at how both California and
: Arizona twist its meaning. Both have similar
: constitutional provisions which state that "in a
: criminal proceeding the accused shall have the
: right to appear and defend in person AND by counsel."
: The Religious Order of Black Frocks in both states
: have ruled that in this instance, AND means OR. In
: other words, you may appear and defend in person, or
: you may appear and defend by counsel, but not both.
: I submit that the drafters of both state provisions
: knew the difference between the operation or AND
: and OR. But then, how do you prevail when the
: highest placed crooks in the state disagree? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------you used up all the spaces----------------------------------- Well you can just read that one and tell that it had to mean OR. It does not read grammatically correct as AND, only as OR. JMHO.
