In the appellate world, what passes for legal analysis is too often nothing but facile manipulation of rules while ignoring the actual facts of the case.
Today’s Quote
If of chaos we are on the brink
It is because so many people only think that they think.
In truth, of anything other than thinking they are fonder,
Because thought requires the time and effort to reflect, cogitate, contemplate, meditate, ruminate and ponder.
Their minds are exposed to events and idea but they have never pondered or reflected on them
Any more than motion picture screens meditate on the images that are projected on them.
— Ogden Nash
