I think this one will actually work.  It does what I think UP wanted to do, 
and makes it easier.  People are going to make problems about the CFJ system 
being used here, but we're going to have to fix that too.  I propose that we 
use this opportunity to plan out how to fix the justice system as well... it 
is a natural follow-up to the statute being set.
