Tidbits has given more to the Duke Lacross case than I could ever hope to give in a lifetime but he waxes hot on my defense of Troy Davis .I believe our controversy worth continuing ,not to ridicule him but as an example of how minds can work so well together in certain instances and suddenly discover that we appear to be living not in different neighborhoods but on different planets.

I reviewed the 11th CA opinion.
SC:
You apparently reviewed pp. 1-34(I fear with less than your usual degree of perspicacity)and neglected to read the only intelligent commentary in the opinion ,pp.34 to 47.
Read it all here:

I reviewed the 11th CA opinion ends at page 35.

You have confused a dissent with an opinion of the court.

p. 36

BARKETT, Circuit Judge, dissenting:


A dissent, even by Justice Scalia when joined by 3 justices has the same power as a handwritten sign at last weeks Tea Party in Zap North Dakota.

It might be read. It might impress someone. It might not. It has no effect.

Although it has no effect, I had scanned Judge Barkett's opinion. It did not impress me.
