It's a fair question. I don't think so necessarily.

The Perry case, I hope, is on a fairly fast track and the request for injunctive relief should be decided well before the Court of Claims cases get going in earnest. I realize the Court of Claims is moving along in terms of the discovery in search of jurisdiction stuff, but if they ever get to the "merits" that case will be a lengthy and hardfought proceeding.

Also, Perry is an APA of 1946 and HERA case. FIlings should be on June 4th and oral arguments should be on June 23rd. [Earlier tonight, I was toying with the idea of driving down for the oral arguments.] Hard to know what's on Judge Lamberth's mind, but one can say that he *should* decide at least the motions to dismiss and some of the other stuff this year sometime. Who knows.

Court of Claims is basically "takings" 5th Amendment with some common law and other arguments thrown in. They are pretty different. I don't think one court's jurisdiction would "trump" the other cases necessarily.
