72. Were they supposed to ignore a Court order and not reply?
It is the Solicitor General's job to opine on matter touching federal jurisdiction...and FSIA fits that.

When you read the brief, the SC is not foreclosing on a finding of no immunity under an exception to FSIA....only that the 9th incorrectly applied Oregon law.

I agree--the Vatican makes me sick, too, but the SC shouldn't change its opinion on the law based on the disgustingness of the defendant....
