However, I followed the federal cases quite closely and I have to conclude that they followed the law precisely as they should have. I think the Schindler's attorneys did not ask the court for a ruling on the correct questions, and it doomed their case from the start. They never did get it right, but that's not the fault of the federal judges. They rule on what is before them, not what might have been before them.
That's what I've been trying to tell everybody who's been after Whittemore's head. I couldn't find any fault with his decision. However, I do hope Greer gets put out next election. His decisions, while probably legal given that they were upheld in the end, are still not very good.
