Quite possibly. It's hard to keep these people straight, as I don't have them in my macro list.
I was referring to Pollock. I stand corrected :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

It was recently overturned by the US Supreme Court, whether it was temporary or permanent.

I may be confused but how many injunctions have you, or anyone you know, obtained against the United States of America ?
That gets my vote for non sequitur of the week.
In my opinion there is a major difference that is decisive in each case.

Injunctions? Yes, you are confused.

No, the "differences" are not important.

Quixote..
You would lose your money on the semi-colon.. :wink: I do agree with your nomination concerning my comment about Injunctions. I also agree with the Court decisions in the Bill Benson cases. My agreement must be based on confusion, right ?
