Continuing my coverage of the taxpayer's attempt to have the district court reconsider its decision in In re G-I Holdings, 369 B.R. 832 (D.N.J. 2007), based on affidavits to be supplied by Senate Finance Committee staffers on the meaning of a tax transition rule: the Government yesterday filed its Brief in Opposition to Debtors' Motion to Seal Finance Committee Staff Statements, which includes this statement:
The public’s interest is manifest in Rebecca Kysar’s discussion of GAF’s attempt to cite its lobbyist as legislative history in Listening to Congress: Earmark Rules and Statutory Interpretation, 94 Cornell L. Rev. 519, 565-567 (2009). Kysar was also the author of Kysar: Transition Rules and Statutory Interpretation in G-I Holdings, available on TaxProf Blog on April 28, 2009 (http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2009/04/kysar-.html#more).
