The Supreme Court ruled in our favor today!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ruling was
based on standing. Yay for our lawyers for making such a good case on that!
You can see the opinon and summary here -

The plantiffs have 10 days to request a rehearing. We've been told is it
*very* rare for the SC to agree to rehear a case, but the decision won't be
"final" until that's over. So keep praying.
WAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, send us some money so we can finish paying our attorneys. We have only
$33,000 to go!!!!
