That is the point. There were ways, the problem is many were going about it the wrong way! And as I have said, the JUSTICE DEPARTMENT admitted what was put on the table WOULD HAVE WORKED. The consensus was based upon an incomplete understanding of the legal statutes which were being employed in this situation. Again, the whole point is this would have moved OUT of Greer's court -- read a bit more closely from the book, and you will see _where_ the foundation lay (though again, the legal aspect is more in depth).

As I recall, the consensus there too was that it wouldn't work -- though of course it has a cheekiness that's appealing.

Emotionally I wanted Jeb Bush to save her by sending in the National Guard or George Bush to send in federal troops. Unfortunately, I could also predict what the courts would have done instantly thereafter. Greer had ruled. His ruling was res judicata in that case. He had been upheld throughout several appeals by the reviewing courts. There was no way around this unless Greer changed his mind or he was reversed.

My father was quite involved in all of this and knew what he was doing -- again, it was verified it would work. That's the problem. It would have worked! Admitted! Donald

The strategy you suggested would have been doomed from the outset in the courts. I do litigation each day to earn my bread and butter and I have been doing so for 27 years.

I have only given what I could without stating too much, while again, pointing out, again, when examined over, it was proper and would have worked and this was admitted. You are thinking of the situation within the box, this was about changing the box. Donald,
