I thought "de novo" meant "new look," not a review of what has transpired. It's my understanding Congress wanted the federal court to start the process anew. That's not what Whittemore did.

That issue has been addressed here by several Freepers who are lawyers. You are exactly right, but Gibbs did not make that argument. That is not the Judge's fault, but a failure on the part of Gibbs. He was given the opportunity, and he did not make the argument he should have made.

When this is all said and done, Greer needs to be called before the Senate and Congressional Committees who put out the supeonas and explain himself, held in contempt and then fined and sent to jail.

Wittimore needs to be impeached and removed from office for not following the letter and spirit of the law which Congress specifically passed, requiring de novo examination of this case.

If the 11th Circuit punts this ball, they should be impeached and removed. If the Supreme Court demurs, they should be impeached and removed also.

Enough is enough. It's about time these puffed-up tyrants were in fear for their jobs, if not their lives.

Otherwise, we are officially under judicial tyranny and nothing can, or will, stop them. We will no longer have a Constitution which means anything.
