Apache is gone, why can't they let it die with a shred of dignity? Scarab is dead too but you don't see us Scarab fans hoping that Wellcraft will break ranks with Genmar and hire Larry Smith as president and chief designer.

Goes to show you, a smooth talking or smooth typing lawyer can get you to believe anything I hope he wasn't TUO, (typing under oath). I do think he deserves a "time out" for falsifying and perpetuating untruths via the Internet.

I guess it would be a little difficult for him to ask Don Aronow to design and build him another Offshore Powerboat.

Hey guys -- I hate to tell you that even though it was a joke, there is a kernel of truth at it's center. The Supreme Court really is examining that issue and many expect upward departures based on extraneous issues to be ruled unconstitutional. The only question then will be whether it will apply retroactively. (For the record, I expect them to be held unconstitutional, but the ruling to be prospective only.)

I don't recall if Benny was an upward departure case, but if he was, you can expect there to be further proceedings.

Just my .02...

Actually the ruling would have to act retroactively also..... Ben was sentenced pursuant to a guidelines sentence but many of the enhancers are questionable.

I got $100.00 bucks that they find a way to say it is prospective in effect only. (I'd be happy to lose this one.) Remember -- They aren't last because they are always right... They are right because they are always last.

It's great when two lawyers can agree.
