Regarding the last sentence, I wish there were consequences if they try this and it turns out to be unjustified.

  "There appears no repercussions for the government officials in maintaining such positions in court."
  Agreed. What really pisses me off is the courts immunity. I have watched too many people get screwed by some arrogant judge who thinks he/she is the smartest person on earth and is above it all. Its a game of attrition and will on their part. Its not their time and money. And voters couldn't care less - unless, of course they are the ones getting screwed.

I read the opinion which is a remand back to the Federal District Court and same Judge. It sounds as if the DOJ gets another bite at the apple.

I still don't get why the cops thought 'Canna residue' was significant. Canna is a flower.
