[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you saying that he didn't proofread it?[/quote]

I'm saying he doesn't have time.  An unfortunately miss but the other clerks - maybe one who has a better grasp of the Justice's opinions - should have caught it.[/quote]

On a case involving the regulatory authority of the EPA over states?  The guy wrote 13 opinions last year, including all of his concurrences and dissents.  I think he can read one a month. BTW Scalia is known for being very involved in his drafting.[/quote]

Not on a dissent and you well know they are issuing 100s of opinions right now and next month.[/quote]

I don't know that, and you don't seem to know much either.  The court has heard less than 100 cases per year for the last 20 years.  This year they granted about 70, and they've already handed down decisions in about 40 cases.  So really there are about 30 cases left to be decided between now and the end of June.  Writing decisions is one of the few things a Supreme Court justice actually does, and I find it hard to believe that anyone but Justice Scalia himself would write such a snarky opinion ("look ma no hands") so it's no good blaming the law clerks.[/quote]
