They didn't give the executive branch anything. The Constitution did that, they merely upheld the Constitution.
Imagine that, a 3 judge federal court upholding the letter and the spirit of the Constitution. Now I know where that order for red long underwear with an extra hole for a third lower appendage came from back in '02.
Yes, you're right, they upheld the Constitution. My point was mainly on the settlement of the issue. :) SFF
