No, it's worse than nothing. With nothing you are only arguing against your opponent. With a overruled decision you are arguing against an appellate court. The latter is far more authoritative even if the precedent is not binding. I think that you would find that most lawyers would never cite an overruled decision. -- John Hasler [email protected] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
