Excellent piece, thank you. I've been arguing this for a long time. I had no idea Pryor was one of the 11th Jerkoffs who voted against doing anything about the district court openly defying intent of Congress and refusing to have de nove hearing. After Bush went to the trouble to get him a recess appointment. And I believe the lovely Herr Doktor Reichskankler Advokat Greer is also supposed to be a Republican. Once 99.99 percent of them put on that black robe, it's over.

PS: I must give credit to one of the .01 percent - Byron White was A GREAT MAN AND A GREAT JUSTICE. Isn't it interesting that probably the most sensible of 20th C. justices was a football player???

...openly defying intent of Congress..?

The intent of Congress was to modify the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts to allow the issue to come up one more time. They did not vote to determine an outcome - only to allow the issue to be evaluated when the previous law on jurisdiction would have barred another hearing. You seem to want the Congress to legislate the results in our courts. What part of the separation of powers don't you understand?
