A TIP:  IF YOU THINK THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION PRESENTED IN ABRAMSKI IS SIMPLE, REMEMBER THAT THE DECISION WAS 5 TO 4.  YOU SHOULD GO BACK AND REVIEW THE DISSENT OR LISTEN TO THE ORAL ARGUMENT AUDIO AGAIN TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE CONSIDERED ALL SIDES AND ARGUMENTS BEFORE FORMULATING YOUR OWN OPINION.

(ALSO, DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE FOR YOUR ESSAY ASSIGNMENT.)
