    I truly love your website.. Very nice colors & theme. Did you create this site yourself? Please reply back as I’m looking to create my very own site and want to find out where you got this from or exactly what the theme is named. Thank you!

    I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues? A small number of my blog visitors have complained about my website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any solutions to help fix this problem?

    As I observed when it was first posted (but no record seems to remain), this article fails to account for BUTTERWORTH v. UNITED STATES ex rel. HOE, 112 U.S. 50 (1884). As I read BUTTERWORTH, the Court finds that the Commissioner’s, now Director’s, being subservient to a Secretary did not divest him of substantial autonomy with regard to the issuance of patents. It might be that such a degree of autonomy is inadequate to satisfy the appointments clause, but, given a choice between finding APJs constitutional or not, courts seem highly unlikely to find not. The implications would be at least as large as those inherent in finding that only the ENTIRE Board can grant rehearings — something rejected in ALAPPAT.
