## Opinion text

*500 EVANS, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
As Judge Bauer’s persuasive opinion makes perfectly clear, Liddell and Harris can no longer (if they ever could) live comfortably together. One, or the other, has to move out. And, given the impressive array of authority marshaled in today’s opinion, that somebody has to be Liddell. But for the reasons noted in Liddell, Congress should take a look at this issue because the ugly hand of the 100-to-l discriminatory erack-to-powdercocaine ratio is still at work in cases like this.
