Quick notes on the oral arguments for Giles v. California
You know how when a law professor makes an inane, pointless and/or poorly worded comment in class, and you look at your fellow classmates and see expressions of confusion mixed with disinterest and apathy? The Supreme Court is kind of the opposite of that.
UPDATE AND NOTE TO SELF: I should stop writing these things when I haven't slept in 36 hours. You know how sometimes people are listening to something, and they all have dumb stares because they're inattentive and don't understand what's going on? The Supreme Court was the opposite of that. Somebody would say something and I'd think "that's unbelievably smart." That's what I meant.
