FYI, a pre-Gilbertson effort to enumerate
several authorities supporting the USDC v. DCUS
distinction, can be found at the URL infra.
Remember, statutes granting original jurisdiction
to all federal courts must be STRICTLY construed.
This matter of strict construction is discussed
in detail, elsewhere in this forum.
The rebuttal to the government's response
is also very enlightening, particularly
with respect to the authority to issue
rules for those two forums. See the
Table of Contents for USA v. Knudson,
in the Supreme Law Library at URL:
