Congressional districts, thats one of the few areas the court has no control over its own docket. Heard by a special threejudge panel and then an appeal goes straight to the Supreme Court and they have to either sashays it is so clearly right were not going to hear it or have to hear it on the merits. Campaign finance is one area, and redistricting is the other, where they have to have more cases on this subject than they might like. I want to make sure we have just at least a few minutes to talk about willys and louriers cases. Willy, you were going to talk about some cases involving business docket.

Woodblock scotland from becoming a member of nato, but it will be a drawnout negotiation where things will not be as simple as they are being projected in the campaign. If you want to mention the u.
