Thanks! Probably everything reads better when it’s printed in the fancy SCOTUS format.

Thanks Mark! It’s interesting what you say about the vehicle problems. I’ve talked about the case with a few SCOTUS types who have had various views, but I tend to agree with you that there’s no strong reason for the court to take the case now if it’s going to have to consider taking it again later. We shall see.

Argument C—that your case is not the right vehicle—strikes me as the most difficult for Canada’s counsel to rebut.
