I understand that you are not going to read it that way. It is something that I have already seen constitutional scholars argue, just as they argue the meaning of the second admendment.

Do those two witnesses have to say the word traitor... or do they have to testify to actions???
As a witness, you don't have to have to say murderer... just I saw him kill her.
If you are pleaing... you don't have to say I'm a murderer -- just I killed them.
Any different???
