The staff didn't see this as a close call or a mixed bag or anything like that. This should have been a very clear-cut case."

  • Hebert said when a case is a close call staff lawyers usually include counterpoints to their conclusions in their memo. But he said there is nothing in the 73-page memo suggesting a plausible reason for approving the map. "So that raises a lot of suspicions about the motives" of the senior officials who are political appointees, he said.

It's a 73 page memo, and i ain't reading it for free. If fringey gives me a fake file to bill I'll plow though it, otherwise I'm going with this. They couldn't come up with any arguments to support it's validity- obviously someone was able to come up with some- because it was upheld. I'm done on this- I win.
