99. I really don't think that the Justices would accept jurisdiction.
Edited on Sat Jan-29-05 10:22 AM by Pepperbelly
Particularly Darth Rhenquist's Court. I don't see any way that they would agree to hear the case. Not with the Bush v. Gore majority still sitting there. The Fortas precedent is not a legal precedent but a political one. And it would be far more valuable than as a demonstrator of hypocracy. It would be an unmistakable and undeniable instance of gop attempts to circumvent democratic safeguards against tyrany within the USA.

And that would be powerful stuff. And it would be true.
