By the way, the ACRU was the client for the very successful brief also filed by Congressman Billybob in the Bush/Florida case.

Which one was that? Could you make a link please?

I'm a bit of an amateur in making links. The easiest way to see all the briefs in the Bush/Florida case is to go to the Supreme Court's website: www.supremecourtus.gov

In this case, for the first time ever, it posted the full text of every brief filed in a case. Because of the fast schedule, only 14 attorneys managed to get briefs in. Only one of them -- mine -- urged the Court to "strike" the Florida Supreme Court decision and "do nothing else."

As it turned out, the Court neither affirmed nor reversed the Florida SC in round one. It "vacated" (struck) the decision and did nothing else. And the Court did that unanimously.

Anyone who is a glutton for punishment can put up a link and read all these briefs. In that case the ACLU was on the other side, supporting Gore. In this case the ACLU is on our side, opposing Shays-Meehan.
