I for one do not give credit to any law firm, nor blame any organization, for results or the lack thereof. I suspect that there are a lot of forces, people and organizations involved to a greater extent then we will ever know. Paranoia? Probably. Distrust of, or lack of blind faith in our goverment? You bet. All I can do is vote my views, hope those people I entrust with some power stay true to the perceived beliefs I think they have. All too often people seem to change once they have tasted power.

This version of SCOTUS would seem to be on "our" side. But seeing is believing. All we can do is wait for spring when the arguments are scheduled, hope a good case is presented and then wait for a favorable outcome. The alternative is not fun to think about

I certainly hope you are correct, but I am far from confident about the outcome. When lawyers, and at their core that is what the justices are or were, start "wordsmithing" you begin to think you do not understand plain English as written.

edit: as there are several attorneys I believe on this forum, I do not mean to attack the profession. But good lawyers are VERY good at getting different meaning from something that would seem very straight forward.
