Over a procedural law giving jurisdiction to the federal court to adjudicate how existing law applies to the matter in controversy? I just don't see it. Do you recall what the argument of the attorneys was?

Having said that, I don't really see a different outcome in federal court, unless they try the matter de novo. I guess that is an important point. But one would assume not if it is going to federal appellate court. But I am not clear on that one.

Man, DeLay's getting personal; he should NOT do that.

They were attorneys on Fox who have seen all the evidence over the years.

And the argument that was made is that it HAS been adjudicated (by more than one court) and he has a right to go with an emergency writ straight to the USSC.

Bill of attainder? A law that applies to only one person.
