The biggest problem was that Gibbs (the Schindlers' attorney) refused to file this as a de novo case.

In short, he f***ed up his one opportunity to undo his previous f***-ups.

Dear Lord, friend, you are so right. I was listening to Hannity's show on the drive home tonight....the legal proceedings in this case border on the criminal.

I wish I could understand why Gibbs didn't throw himself on the de novo right handed to him by Congress and the President.

I'll just never understand it.

David Gibbs, the Schindler's lawyer, only filed for a temporary restraining order, not for a de novo hearing. What the congresscritters appear to be angry about is that the judge failed to give the Schindlers something they didn't ask for in the first place. It's posturing.

I don't understand all the legalize, but why would he have had to do this? Didn't the congress file it with the courts asking to do a de novo?
