Text: 95 and Klein 96 The Defendants present the same Beam argument that the district court describes in Simmons, 786 F.Supp. at 592-94, and the Ninth Circuit describes in Gray, 989 F.2d at 1571-72. We adopt the Ninth Circuit's analysis rejecting this argument insofar as it explains why any constitutional rule articulated in Beam does not limit Congress' powers under Article I. Id. at 1572; accord Cooke, 998 F.2d at 1264-65; Berning, 990 F.2d at 277-78. The Defendants also argue that § 27A(b) affects the outcome of cases without changing the law in violation of the rule announced in United States v. Klein, 80 U.S. (13 Wall.) 128, 20 L.Ed. 519 (1872). We adopt the analysis of the Eleventh Circuit in Scientific-Atlanta, 971 F.2d at 1572, which explains that § 27A respects Klein by changing the law. Accord Cooke, 998 F.2d at 1264-65; Berning, 990 F.2d at 278-79; Gray, 989 F.2d at 1568-70; Anixter, 977 F.2d at 1544-46. 97
