On the recordJune 27, 2012
And that's just my point. I'm not trying to stop any process. What I'm trying to do is prevent this administration from doing an end-run on the process. You set up the record almost completely straight. There were court cases on this. It was going to the Supreme Court. It was about to go to the Supreme Court and be heard, and then this administration put pressure on the city that was involved in it to stop it, and they withdrew the case. We would have had the decision by the Supreme Court in that matter, but the administration basically said no, because they wanted to go ahead with their actions here without interference of the Supreme Court. Fortunately, though, there is now another case that's been filed, and it's from my home State of New Jersey. This will give us all exactly what we need, just what you were saying: lower court, and now it's being appealed up to the Supreme Court.
