A.P. offers this
report, which notes that the search for a new judge may delay
things a few days. My weekend post on the most recent litigation is here.
The Washington Post offers this
report,
which begins: " former senior Justice Department official in the Bush
administration has concluded that a constitutional amendment is not
needed to grant the District voting representation in the House. The
25-page opinion by Viet D. Dinh, a former assistant U.S. attorney
general, was commissioned by Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.) as part
of his effort to grant the District a vote in the House. "
William Safire writes this New
York Times oped on the proposed amendment to the Constitution
to elimnate Article II's natural born citizen requirement for President.
