Hi Ron
Yes, you are right about how these decisions are rendered. I was being sort of tongue-in-check, but I do know people who hang around the Federal building and who knows what information they might pick up--and when.
I did very little Federal work (Fogel was a state superior court judge when I was in front of him).
Remember, if you want a personal tour of CW sites around Shreveport/Red River, let me know and I will hook you up with a good friend of mine in Shreveoport who will be pleased to take you out to places no one goes.
Stay tuned.
