Subject: Draft of Supreme Court brief

Here is a first publishable draft.? This has benefited greatly from comments
by Richard, Judy, and of course Dan, but wcp takes full responsibility.
?
Careful further review by all is needed.? I can identify two basic problems:
the repeated statistics for use of the grids are believed to be about right,
but we lack authoritative sources and we need to go with something firmer
(as we in the power biz say); second, the examples given both late in the
statement and near the end of the brief have been reworked by me in light of
some very helpful conversations yesterday, but I may not have gotten them
right, or put them as well as I could have; these also need citations if
possible.
?
I will be out of play until late morning Monday (going to Charlottesville
for a speech by my spouse).? Comments should be routed to others on the WCP
team as well as?me.? We hope to have all significant comments by the end of
next week (earlier?where possible of course), so that we can put the brief
in final shape over the weekend.
?
Thanks to all.
