Good to see that idiocy still reigns
A sense of the House resolution encourages the 9th Circuit to rehear the sex survey case en banc.
Query: What is the most lame-brained aspect of this?
The merits? While I am a big fan of Pierce v. Society of Sisters, let's not do anything to endanger or extend that case.
The lack of standing?
The disregard for court procedure? This is better than what Sensenbrenner did in that sentencing case -- there is no punishment too severe for that -- but this smacks of disdain for procedure. And since all law is procedure (something I read on the first day of civ pro but did not appreciate until clerking), this smacks of disdain for law. [UPDATE: In case the reference to Sensenbrenner was obscure, read more here.]
The showboating?
