“I share the gentleman's objective. He should be aware that there is a solution, there is a constitutional solution that would eliminate the shuffle. We are not opposed to eliminating the shuffle. Our solution would be to give jurisdiction over the monetary relief and the legal issues to the U.S. District Court, which is an Article III court that has the constitutional authority to accept all of that jurisdiction. That will eliminate the shuffle completely. So I hope the gentleman will support my amendment when it is offered, my amendment with the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Rothman).”
