And you say my "time is coming"? Gee, I'm so scared. Better go make sure my guns are all loaded and ready to go. Robhalford88 and his buddies are coming for me.

I agree with you on your first point, as that is the reason you use a decision or statute that is outside your heirachy, as you well know.
As for the second, I wouldn't bother with you, but I bet there are those that will.
