Retroactively extending copyright terms negates any plain meaning of "limited time."

This presents us with a dilemma. Your ruling is now at odds with the Supreme Court's. The Court considered this question and came to the conclusion that there is nothing in the Constitution which prevents Congress from granting these kinds of extensions.

To resolve this dilemma, let us consider the immortal words of Judge Judy. "You say 'yes,' I say 'no,' I'm the judge, I win."
