But we can't do this overnight. We have another case coming down the pike that will be a first in the nation case. But do you know how much work taking a case like that is? A lot.
    I can't wait to see what the first in the nation case is. Any ETA on the filing?

    This case sounds like a slam dunk, so why not take it? IIRC a similar case in IA or somewhere won recently. Also nice to see a new attorney (Joe Hickson) joining the fight. Alan Gura is awesome, but he can't be in 100 places at once (though he seems to be managing 50 pretty well).

    Exactly. They have to be built upon a foundation of previous rulings.
