On this specific step - you're handwaving a *lot* of critically important questions. Ex post, yes, we should have done a lot of things.

This is a very good idea so long as it doesn't end up in front of Aileen Cannon
(which is to say - I think this is smart, clever, and correct; and also we need less focus on clever legal arguments and more focus on raw power moves)
