- Hardy har har once again, Margolis.
-
- Like I said before, it means that if you want privacy as you interpret it,
- then you have to accept all that the judges tack onto that interpretation.

- Including what Lockett decided in Florida.

- But did the judge specify that this right applies to people under 21 or
- <=18? No, not anymore than they specified that RvW did not apply to minors.
-
- Of course it took the Casey decision to decide that minors could be
- constitutionally excepted (via parental consent), but we haven't had a
- Casey-style ruling on Lockett's decision yet, so no limitations (such as
- the one you mentioned) exist in realtime yet.
