SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No.
REPUBLIC NATIONAL BANK OF MIAMI, PETITIONER v. UNITED STATES
on writ of certiorari to the united states court of appeals for the eleventh circuit
[
Justice
While I agree with Justice Blackmun's analysis of the Government's Appropriations Clause argument, and join his opinion in its entirety, I also agree with The Chief Justice that 31 U.S.C. § 1304 together with 28 U.S.C. § 2465 provide a satisfactory alternative response. Moreover, like Justice White, and for the reasons stated in his separate opinion, I am surprised that the Government would make "such a transparently fallacious" argument in support of its unconscionable position in this case.
