"Nothing new"...? Oh really? When have you ever even come close to admitting that the union "can negotiate away from the Nic" before? I realize that might have simply slipped out between the standard pattern of simian grunts...but it's both interesting and amusing anyway. A person might misconstrue such a slip as evidence that even the thickest of skulls can indeed be penetrated.
And yes, yes...sigh!...We all know, as does "the rest of the world", so often cited by the west, that you've sure-fire/no-possible-doubt/world-beating/instant-success/etc, etc, DFR waiting that'll fly in the face of both a circuit court of appeals and even your local one telling you it needn't be the nic after all....yet somehow the nic must magically remain the gold standard?...Whew! Well..in any fariness; I must confess that I'm disregarding the endless and universal support from "the rest of world", that so dotes on the nic and your group, that anything less than that couldn't possibly be accepted for your sadly persecuted, noble little "minority".....Yeah....Right...If you say so
For the sake of maintaining your most cherished fantasies;I believe you were very fortunate indeed that the 9th delved no more deeply into the Wake circus than it did.
By way of the usually vaunted "expectations" your bunch makes so much of; I believe that Wake's pathetic little "hobby"/circus did your group far more harm than you can currently even imagine....much less even begin to accept.
Wake's dismissed little circus, with it's incredibly twisted slant...not to mention some of the strangest jury instructions imaginable..makes this a "proven" issue for your group?....Ummm...sure thing again.
