Ever notice that there are usually at least four idiots in these Supreme Court Decisions? Sometimes there are five and more.
So, the State was arguing that dead fish are ‘documents’?.............
HUH?
The scary part is that it even had to get to the USSC and the difffernce between a fish being a document and not was only one vote.
Ginsburg, Roberts, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Alito were in the majority (with Alito writing his own concurring opinion). Thomas, Scalia, Kennedy, and Kagan were the dissenters.
Majority opinion: Ginsberg, Roberts, Breyer, Sotomayor; Alito concurring.
Kagan, Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, dissenting.
FWIW, I agree with the decision. We are criminalizing way too much behavior in America today. Throwing a fish back in the ocean is a federal crime? Seriously?
I am surprised by Kennedy. He is usually of a more practical and somewhat libertarian bent.
this is easy...
grab the fish by the tail..
slap it hard along the side of the boat..
it will grow at least 3 inches...
if it is more than 3 inches short, do yourself a favor..
throw it back
Foreshadowing health care decision on whether federal government is a state?
This tells me how the vote will go on health care and its plain language.
Our top court thinks people don’t exist until out of the birth canal, yet want to throw two double murder charges at a person for killing a pregnant woman.

What’s an “anti-document”?
How, in the heck, does SOX apply to a private citizen who fishes?
SOX applies to public companies and nothing more, in my understanding.
Wow, talk about overreach. We’ve got to shrink down the number of laws.
I am sorry, but if you are a fisherman by trade, you should know that keeping undersized fish is not permissible. Fish and Wildlife took this in a poor direction trying to overprosecute... and lost. Everyone loses.
If only he stuffed the fish in his socks.
