Of course, this shit all comes from someone who doesn't understand why an appeal to authority is a fallacy when it comes to matters of absolute truth.
You have been trying to sell that pathetically transparent straw man for dozens of pages. It's not working, stupid.
How is it a "straw man" when you site William P. Chase as an authority ...?
A Supreme Court justice

is an authority on that case, stupid.
You appear to be an authority on absolutely nothing.
