The opinion

CUDAHY, Senior Circuit Judge,

concurring in the judgment:

The result here is dictated by the extensive Special Division precedent establishing an extraordinarily demanding test for eligibility for attorneys’ fees. Whether Congress originally intended that the bar for eligibility be set this high is to me unclear. But we are not writing on a clean slate.
