Favorite part of the ruling so far. Basically telling Cannon: look, we could have just stopped here, but this is fun so we're gonna keep dunking on you for the next 12 pages.

And mad props to the clerk who dug up this quote from the little-known Cobbledick case.

What a time to be alive.

Last Cobbledick tweet, I promise. What's interesting is that DOJ first cited the case in its opening brief, but DOJ used a different quote for a slightly different proposition. So it looks like some 11th Circuit clerk read it and was like "hmmm, can't let this go to waste."

Sorry, one more. I was curious - who was this Cobbledick, and why was he aggrieved? Well, the SC opinion has few details, not even a first name. But interestingly, Cobbledick also didn't want to comply with a GJ subpoena. However, he filed a motion to quash like a normal person.
