    and naturally, Obama doesn't want anyone with this level of literary talent on the supreme court. (Link opens opinion in PDF)

    [rquoter]North Philly, May 4, 2001. Officer Sean Devlin, Narcotics Strike Force, was working the morning shift. Undercover surveillance. The neighborhood? Tough as a three dollar steak. Devlin knew. Five years on the beat, nine months with the Strike Force. He’d made fifteen, twenty drug busts in the neighborhood.

    Devlin spotted him: a lone man on the corner. Another approached. Quick exchange of words. Cash handed over; small objects handed back. Each man then quickly on his own way. Devlin knew the guy wasn’t buying bus tokens. He radioed a description and Officer Stein picked up the buyer. Sure enough: three bags of crack in the guy’s pocket. Head downtown and book him. Just another day at the office.[/rquoter]

    First, if literary talent were a qualification for the Supreme Court, how come we're not reading opinions by Justice McMurtry?

    Second, That's not even a good parody of Hammett.

    And third, it's a freaking SC document, not some avenue for a Justice to engage in some awkward humor or literary fantasies. It's well and good to have a sense of humor about any job, no matter how serious, but you you don't cross the line.
