No, it's not in the least.

In any case, I stand by that this is not a Constitutional issue - by your definition, ultimately every municiple issue would ultimately be considered that, and for practical purposes while the extension is certainly valid, it is pointless.
And I agree that the decision itself has nothing to do with the Constitution. My argument was that if the decision were to be overturned by a court, and challenged, it would ultimately lead back there, since the higher you go the closer you get.

Actually I don't like this thing very much myself, but it seems to me that a lot of the opposition is of the "we won't stand for it, no matter what" variety, and that scares me as much as anything. So we all need to phrase ourselves very carefully to avoid that connection - "Tarring with the same brush" and all that.
