Possession is eleven tenths of the law, in this case

I haven't ever expected JPA to go away - there are enough interests in
favor, it is in force, and the interests against it are against it for
widely different reasons and cannot be reasonably expected to cooperate with
each other.

Lameduck Bush administration, or whatever new one comes in .. McCain,
Hilary, Obama.. abolition of JPA / DoC oversight aint going to happen.
