In a nut shell . But there is a bit more to it . One needs to be well versed in the foundation .

This all goes to the origin and purposes of the American court system . How and why the Judicial Districts were established and who is / has controlling authority . And the underlying reasons for the 11 th. Amendment . State Courts and their subdivisions also are effected .

To get the picture requires study into the Congressional Record , to find the reason for a given Amendment or Statute or Agencies existence . So few are able to do so , unless there is a Federal Depository Library near by . Rod and his contributors do that . When I was an avid student , I spent as much time , if not more in the proceeding records than cross referencing points and authorities . You can not read an Act and have full understanding of the implications .

Rod’s paperwork are quite helpful as outlines in formulating a study plan . As time allows I’ll bring some materials here to share .
