There are only about 14 hours left to resolve this intent; given that I

I'd be willing to support an overrule to FALSE too. Do you want to write

I would prefer to just overrule to FALSE based on appellant's arguments.
Too many cases dragging on too long... I'm moving towards an activist
stance on appeals when the case seems straightforward to me.  -g.
