No one "got" him to censor himself.
Rather, he simply got himself into a position that he couldn't answer a legitimate question about his asertion that Congress is required to be in session when a Bill is signed.

Originally, he posted that a particular law was in-valid due to it having been signed while Congress was adjourned and in trying to contribute to the thread I asked him to provide verbage from the Constitution that states Congress must be in session for a Bill to be able to be signed into law.

Instead, all I got was a run-around that consisted solely of his own personal opinion and then when asked further he acts like Cartman and storms off after locking the thread.

He cannot provide the answer I was asking for because that requirement does not exist in the Constitution. Congress has been adjourning prior to Bills being signed for as long as there's been a Congress.

If Palani is so correct, he should sue the gov and get all the laws overturned where Congress was adjourned when the POTUS signed them.
Well to be fair, the constitution is vague on that particular item. But I read that originally before a bill could become a law it had to be read out loud on the house floor while the congress was in session. This reading put it into the congressional record. They probably changed that law or they just dropped the practice.
