Of course, there's the usual academic discourse required for all such articles, but I highly recommend skimming it for the quirky references and jokes made by the justices. As he tagged and analyzed the transcripts, it became apparent that Justice Scalia is the one making the vast majority of the jokes. As evidenced by one of my previous posts, I don't really care for Scalia's biting nature, but I will admit that some of his lines are pretty funny. One of the funniest bits was the repeated mistake by several attorneys in several cases of calling Justice Souter "Justice Ginsberg." One is a man, and one is a woman! Ha! Apparently Justice Souter was very gracious in all of the incidents of mistaken identity and gender. It's nice to know that even the justices can appreciate the humor in mistakes.
This blog is mainly focused on current legal stories and cases. Because I am licensed in Ohio and Tennessee and living in Oklahoma, I tend to read (and therefore blog) mostly about cases from those states. When I get tired of reading about legal cases, I blog about my dogs and other interesting stories. I try to keep the author as my dog Ella, but I'm not very successful at that. Goal for future: Be more persuasive about Ella being the author despite me being the one who can type.
