[Congressman Billybob]

When a case is decided by the highest court in a state, the next step is a writ of certiorari to the US Supreme Court, asking them to take the case. I am currently rough-drafting a brief for the Supreme Court in favor of Forrester, on the assumption that the US SC will take the case, and give counsel about 48 hours to file their briefs.

If I get to file one, it will be an amicus curia (friend of the Court) brief on behalf of the American Civil Rights Union. (Do not misread that. Robert Bork is on their Policy Board. They are the opposite of the ACLU.

If you have the opportunity to file your amicus brief, please post it on FR after you file, please? I'd like to read it.

The US SC is fortunate to have Congressman BillyBob to do the legwork on their ultimate opinion and relieve the justices and their clerks of much hard work. As those who followed the good Congressman's work related to the Bush v. Gore cases, the US SC adopted his arguments pretty much as presented in both cases.

For that reason, I have great confidence that Forrester will prevail at the US SC if the NJ SC is so foolish as to ignore the most basic principles of constitutional and statutory construction.
