Let me give both of the gentlemen some good news. I happen to have the honor of sitting on the Judiciary Committee, where today we marked up and passed out and reported out the reform of habeas corpus, which is the Latin phrase referring to the endless rounds of appeals that can go to the State court, to the Federal court, back to the State court, to the Federal court. We have limited and compressed that timeframe dramatically now so that you will not be able to go into endless round of appeals.
