Sept. 22, 1890.
Sen Vest, 1890: Take the most eloquent orator who ever existed... Let him go before [SCOTUS] and...bring tears to the eyes of every bystander, and a brief of one page from a lawyer who understands the case & stammers out sentences until they're scarcely audible will be successful
Sen. Vest, 1890: A federal intermediate court of appeals "will be a miserable failure and give no sort of satisfaction to the profession or to litigants."
