Supreme Court Releases Transcript of Oral Argument in Cuno
The Supreme Court has released the transcript of the oral argument in Cuno v. DaimlerChrysler, Inc., 386 F.3d 738 (6th Cir. 2004), cert. granted, Nos. 04-1704 & 04-1724. The case involves the constitutionality of Ohio's investment tax credit (as well as the procedural question of Respondents' standing). Among many interesting exchanges was this between Peter Enrich (Northeastern; Counsel for Respondents) and Justice Scalia:
Mr. Enrich: In a footnote in Flast [v. Cohen], the Court specifically says, "Having now decided that there's Establishment Clause standing, we can also reach the free-exercise question without discussing whether there would be independent standing."
Justice Scalia: I had not recollected that footnote. I will -- I will find it. I don't read footnotes, normally.

So What! Presently, I am reading a long tome of a book (Robert Fisk's latest , The Great War for Civilization) This book is loaded with footnotes of which, I'll read one in ten. Scalia has a handful of clerks to scan the footnotes. He isn't required to read everything. Get a life!

Freddie, are you a Supreme Court justice? How many millions of people will be affected by your reading and understanding of Fisk's tome?

Actually, this is pretty cool. Maybe the other justices can try and get Scalia to sign on to perfectly non-controversial opinions and then bury stuff like defenses of Gay Marriage and Roe V. Wade in the footnotes!!!!

hmmm, wasn't his footnote reference a tongue-in-cheek joke about the famouse footnote 14?

Sounds to me like Scalia was joking. He is famous for this sort of facetious remark.
