The Clerk docketed the government’s brief today in Piszel v. U.S., and a copy of the government’s brief is attached to this e-mail message.
The government is sticking to it’s argument that Mr. Piszel entered into an employment contract with Freddie Mac, knew the business was highly regulated, and should have known that the government could change its mind at any time about the terms of his employment contract. The government ignores Pershing Square’s amicus brief except for one mention of it in footnote 10 on page 23.
My calendar says that Mr. Piszel’s reply brief is due Dec. 21.
