Thanks for addressing my point, Fester. I think it's a coin toss right now and the coin is still in the air. Folks who understand what is happening are choosing heads or tails on this issue based upon how they want to see it resolved. Apart from from the religious aspect, something else is at work here. Many are drawing their line in the sand -- a long-overdue backlash against federal encroachment. I'll be standing on the shore as well, hoping to see the riptide carry the federal octopus back out to sea where it belongs.

Ping, re: my last.

With respect to this particular case, I don't think it's fair to say that people are choosing heads or tails based on how they *want* it to be resolved.

I know that litigation is a crapshoot, for the most part, but sometimes there's just not much question as to how it's going to play out. Odds are 99-1 against the US Supreme Court granting certiorari and reversing the trial judge, IMHO.

You need four member of the Supreme Court to grant certiorari (thanks Catspaw) and five to reverse. Count the votes. Do you have them?

The Constitutional Republicans have the argument(s)¹, the populace², 260 legislators³ , legislation⁴, and instructions⁵ to force the black robed tin horn dictators in federal courts into compliance with the U.S. Constitution. All they lack is a spine. Perhaps, 2004 will supply them ONE⁶.
