...had been so exploitive and divisive
that it created a climate of distrust. "

:18:06
You know, that Grantham's
a man after my own heart.

:18:10
Everyone wants to know
when you're starting classes again.

:18:13
That includes me.
:18:17
You know what they say:
Drinking makes depression worse.

:18:21
What do they recommend for anguish?
Where've you been?

:18:25
The library. I studied a printout
of the Supreme Court docket.

:18:28
I even made a list of possible suspects.
:18:31
And then threw it away
because they'd be obvious to everyone.

:18:36
Then you looked for areas
Jensen and Rosenberg had in common.

:18:39
Exactly.
:18:41
Jensen generally protected the rights
of criminal defendants.

:18:45
Some notable exceptions.
:18:47
He wrote 3 majority opinions
protective of the environment.

:18:50
And almost always supported
tax protestors.

:18:53
So they might have been assassinated
by an insatiable tax collector?

:18:57
As yet, I rule no one out.
:19:00
Everyone is assuming the motive
is hatred or revenge.

:19:03
Or an attempt to influence
the social agenda of the court.

:19:07
What if the issue involved
old-fashioned material greed?

:19:10
A case that involves
a great deal of money?

:19:13
-Can I help you?
-I'd like to see this file, please.

:19:17
Why?
:19:18
It's public record, isn't it?
:19:20
Semi-public.
:19:22
Are you familiar with
the Freedom of lnformation Act?

:19:27
This file has the pleading...
:19:28
...and correspondence.
The rest is discovery and the trial.

:19:32
-When was the trial?
-Last summer.

:19:33
-Went on for 2 months.
-Where's the appeal?

:19:36
Not perfected yet.
I think the deadline is August 1 st.
