To the Editor:

   The Ninth Circuit Court, seeking to issue a ruling without creating a precedent, has cited as precedent Bush v. Gore which claimed to be a ruling that established no precedent. It's an elegant knot that leaves me groping for the proper precedent. Heller? Kafka? Moebius? While Bush v. Gore may establish no precedent, it may yet be the foundation of an industry teaching topology to lawyers.
