Here's some information at Democratic Underground about the jurisdictional argument being made by Bilbray's attorneys today.
So . . . what they are saying is that since Bilbray was sworn in (long before the votes were counted) that act meant that San Diego lost jurisdiction over it's election. If you take THAT to it's logical conclusion, it seems they are saying that the House gets to PICK representatives, and the elections don't really matter. As long as they're sworn in, it's over.
I beg to differ. I certainly hope the judge does too. I wondered at the time why they were in such an all fired hurry to install him into the House.
