I agree. If there was legitimate grounds to change the law in the first place, then excluding those folks from returning might well run afoul of constitutional issues. Of course this sort of constitutional fairness only considers what's good for the plaintiff...it is blind to the affect on anyone else.

And if you're looking for a verdict that protects your rights and feelings at the expense of everyone else, the ninth circuit is the place to go! I would have been astounded if they had gone anywhere else :rolleyes:
