Now you're a lawyer in addition to a saint? Pray tell, describe the effect of a 9th circuit decision on cyberlaw on a 5th circuit court, in the absence of Supreme Court direction? What are the ethical obligations of a lawyer in connection with legal decisions which are not binding, but perhaps instructive, and how about if the parallel court's decision is wrongly reasoned? Do let us know your reasoning process, St. Quidnunc, because I so value your opinion.
Merely stating an uneducated belief does not a fact make.
