Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[big-yank]

"a direct dismissal of the case in question" is the point YOU are missing. Judge Pratt's lower court decision to dismiss is a precedent that cannot be ignored. Simply because it was not rendered in an appellate court has no bearing on its corroborative relevance in Perry vs. Lew. Judge Pratt states that he would have agreed with Judge Lamberth's ruling were the roles reversed. He never stated that he ruled on the selfsame case, pointedly identifying the differences for which he dismissed Continental-Western's claims. So C-W is NOT the same case in question, is it?
