Maybe I have this rather unrealistic point of view that SCOTUS prefers to avoid tarbabies, unless and until there is a compelling reason in their mind to just hop in and do it. If this area of the law isn't a tarbaby, I don't know what is. Sorry if I over-simplified and stereotyped your position. I did not mean to do that. Indeed, I don't like to do that to any poster.

No problem. I wasn't castigating, just gently prodding. :_}

I don't know how they can avoid the entire issue. They've already taken the appeal from the ninth on the Pledge of Allegiance. After taking that, how can they turn a blind eye to what Americnas will see as bipolar postions of two different courts?

That was rhetorical by the by, no need to respond to it.

Whats your take on the anti-fillibuster fillibuster?
