The congress passed a law, and the president signed it. How is that "demonstrably" at odds with the constitution? Indeed, the Schindlers did what any american has the right to do: "assemble peaceably to petition for a redress of grievances." Indeed, the 11th circuit could have just let the matter lie and kept their fat mouths shut. They didn't have to accept the latest appeal. From appearances, I'd say it was demonstrably petty, not to mention cruel and unusual punishment to open up such a small sliver of hope for the family after rejecting their previous petitions. All they had to do was reject the petition. It seems like they could learn a thing or two from the SCOTUS on the matter of letting sleeping dogs lie. As it is, they open themselves up for further disdain from the other two branches of government. Smart move, that. I find the blistering attack a bit uncalled for.
