Maybe you didn’t read the “in his jurisdiction” part of my comment?
It means nothing unless and until taken up at SCOTUS.
It’s not “meaningless” in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
No sir/ma’am. I read it. But until SCOTUS rules different, it is the law in Pennsylvania.
Oh, by the way, I don’t think that SCOTUS will ever take up this case.
I don’t remember the exact count, but every jurisdiction in which the NBC claim has been raised, has discarded it.
Also, I don’t agree with the courts, but I learned decades ago that when a court rules, it is the law of the case until overruled or reversed by a superior court.
