Not that I'm aware of, although it does have it's supporters. Ann Coulter is probably fine with it, and she's a lawyer.

I honestly haven't seen anyone who writes about the law (as opposed to just writting bout political stuff) say this argument holds any water at all.

Sure, but the argument has almost been stifled a bit by the political apathy surrounding it, which i guess was sort of my previous point. I think if the public was more concerned, you'd see more experts speaking out.

It's only 'debatable' in that congress controls what will and will not be debated.

Which is what makes this nomination really ballsy by the prez, IMO. It will specifically come up now during nomination, so hopefully the issue will be brought up again.
