The game is just beginning. We are in the first inning of what may turn out to be a long game in trying to overturn this decision by the Ninth Circuit. We must remember that this was only a three-judge panel, not representing necessarily the total views of all the Ninth Circuit. In that regard, we have directed that a letter be sent to the presiding judge of the Ninth Circuit to ask that they reconsider the decision rendered by the three-judge panel, which is within our right to ask and which is within the right of the Ninth Circuit to reconsider. So now we stretch out the possibilities that we have to overturn this decision. If they do the right thing and overturn their own panel, the game has ended. If not, then the game stretches on to the Supreme Court, which will undoubtedly undertake this case. We will be guided when we see it go to the Supreme Court with the fact that another circuit has found just the opposite of what the Ninth Circuit may be leading to draw, and so we are strengthened by the resolve that when it goes to the Supreme Court we will have precedent on the other side of the issue and we will have in front of the Supreme Court in the final innings of this game the undoubted wholesome fulsome support of the American people. The Supreme Court of the United States cannot, cannot, discount the popular will of the people of the United States in this regard.
