- When the Court denies certiorari, it ends up on the back pages of
- the newspaper (if the case is interesting). When the Court makes
- a ruling, it's usually front page news.

- Did I say that I thought the case was a waste of time? No. That's
- why I put "wasting" in quotes above. I said that I wonder if the
- Court thought that their time was being wasted, because Hardwick
- wasn't prosecuted.

- We could say that Congress spends money like drunken sailors. But that would
- be unfair -- to the sailors. They, at least, are spending their own money.
