You are wrong, too. Judge Jones did not write the opinion in Burdine. It was written by Judge Barksdale. I'm very glad you aren't a senator since you don't do your homework.

Oh, please, you can't possibly be serious. Do you really think that Judge Jones could go before Congress and say "that was not my opinion because I didn't write it, I just joined in it"???
Judge Jones was on the panel that issued the Burdine opinion. She did not dissent or (as I recall) concur. She is as responsible for the opinion as is Judge Barksdale. It is every bit her opinion, just as the Kelo decision is the opinion of every justice in the majority even those who did not write the opinion.
It will hang her before Congress.
You should try to check your facts before you insult people for no reason.
At least the 5th Circuit had the good sense to disavow this awful opinion.You do agree that the panel decision in Burdine was wrong and was properly rejected by the enbanc court, don't you?
