And for clarification, despite the media's gleeful reporting that the rehearing was denied by a 10-2 vote, the 11th Cir. does not release the vote tally.

You have a technical point. But I subscribe to Dubya's position (and Mat. 12:30 & Luke 11:23), he that is not with me is against me. Pryor said nothing. He has some 'splainin' to do.

If the vote was 7-5 and Pryor voted for re-hearing what was to be gained by him joining in a dissent or issuing a dissent? It would do nothing to change the outcome. Tjoflat's opinion speaks for itself.

His full appoinment to the court is in doubt. Based on my knowledge of him, Pryor will do more good as permanent appointment on the 11th Cir. And he will make an excellent an SCOTUS appointee as well.

Why issue an opinion that will only be used as fodder to defeat him, when he did what was right?
