Someone please tell me I'm reading the above excerpt from HR 1584
wrong. As I read it, because of the use of the "unless", this bill
says copyrighted citations cannot be required unless an uncopyrighted
citation may also be used. So, if another citation is available, the
court CAN require a copyrighted citation? And if no uncopyrighted
citation is available, the court CANNOT require a copyrighted citation,
leaving no requirement?
