I haven't read through the whole Ninth Circus opinion yet, but it looks to me as if this complaint was made in Common Cause, et al., v. Jones, (C.D. Cal. 2002) (No. 01-03470), and decided by a settlement. The new Ninth Circus opinion looks as if it has to go through a lot of contortions to avoid the conclusion that the issue was res judicata decided by that case.

I read the order and first part of the argument but ut not all of it. I was perhaps stupidly relying on a TV legal reporter for some of what I posted.

You know how you get to be a star legal reporter don't you? First you have to flunk out of law school!!!

You, my friend, are sharp and accurate. Yes, I think this is what the case is all about. Maybe three times today has anyone mentioned on the news that there was this Consent Decree out there.
