Text: Wificus: Oh great Justicus, Rule 60(b)(5) would seem to give me relief if a prior judgment upon which it is based has been reversed or otherwise vacated. You then stated that McCarty was mere precedent and not something that directly caused my distress. Justicus: Yes, it was mere precedent. Wificus: Was not the magistrate both preempted and bound? Oracle: Guard your tongue, woman. Wificus: But sir, did not Congress, through the USFSPA at least vacate McCarty ? Justicus: Not as I see it. Wificus: I'm sorry, my Lord. I had thought that since it is no longer viable and in effect it is at least vacated, but I guess I'm wrong.
