Post Fifteen: Over Two Weeks Later . . .

A quote from Robert H. Jackson, former Supreme Court Justice:

"I used to say that, as Solicitor General, I made three arguments of every case. First came the one that I planned as I thought -- logical, coherent, complete. Second was the one actually presented -- interrupted, incoherent, disjointed, disappointing. The third was the utterly devastating argument that I thought of after going to bed that night."

Love that. Sums up my legal career. Gives me hope if a judge on the Supreme Court bench had the same experience.
