I will try to confirm this tomorrow. It would help if several of us were to call the Solicitor General's office in D.C. tomorrow, and ask the same question: Have you decided not to file a REPLY BRIEF in the Gilbertson appeal to the 8th Circuit? If they have decided against a REPLY BRIEF, this is extremely significant, because it means that they cannot rebut ANYTHING which we wrote in Gilbertson's OPENING BRIEF. Stay tuned! /s/ Paul Mitchell http://www.supremelaw.com
