Clerk & Bailiff: Majordomo@www.ulitmate.org ======================================================================= Mr. and Mrs. Ron Branson are mounting a Judicial Reform initiative for 1996. They refer to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals as "Godzilla". So much for "civil" actions. The Bransons have some wonderful insights, e.g. 42 USC 1983 was _intended_ to apply to judges, because it was written to prosecute judges who were conspiring with the KKK against Southern blacks. However, the judges have ruled that they are not "persons" as the term is used in 1983. Well, what are you then? Maybe the Bransons are correct (they are mutant reptilian clones feeding on used staples, toner and recycled trees) I must say, I am not been impressed with the 9th Cir. decisions I have read, particularly on taxes (ugh!). As Bill Conklin says, the courts will do ANYTHING to keep the sieve from sinking (fat chance, that). STOP LEAK to the rescue.
