So is 28 USC §1400. It was not repealed and plainly sets more particular jurisdiction for patent cases. What can Congress do now to re-institute the validity of it? It's already in the USC. Pass a new clause "and we really mean it!"? CAFC judges have contempt for the canons of statutory construction when entrepreneurial judging can benefit them personally.

28 USC 1391 is actually very clear. As much as i don't like the CAFC, their interpretation of it is completely and totally defensible.
