So odd to see an opinion in which the same judge wrote all three of these passages:pic.twitter.com/iJLbXUSTk7

In what way?

@AlexKing3rd It spends more time explaining why it's wrong than what the decision is, let alone why it's right. -
I see. Curious re what's in the briefs. Must be mighty persuasive appellant's counsel, or decision wd be 250 words total &=No

You're one of those guys who has an absolute, certain view on any topic. Interesting.
-
Nah, I just think if you can get a federal judge to do those kind of handstands you did some solid briefing. Gonna go read.
-
As you'll see if you read, it's not a handstand. It's a well-established, yet emerging, legal opinion.
