You do realize that such dissents are sometimes referred to by the SCOTUS in their opinions? (Mainly because of the justices' clerks who have done a lot of reading on these cases and will sometimes want to insert a clever comment or two.) Yes, even in a case where it was a dissent from a case that's not immediately before the Court (but the same issue). No, it's not often, and like the pure circuit counting it's not really that important in the overall scheme of things (because it's used to bolster an opinion a justice is writing vs. his vote at conference), but your sarcastic tone isn't warranted.
On an unrelated note, you might want to consider how you're debating people. Attacking people with sarcasm and name-calling isn't going to win over many people to your point of view. I know your POV is the minority on this site, but that makes it all the more important to remember what they say about honey and vinegar.
I have low expectations of RP based on experience. Don't get uyour hopes up, either.
Well listen to you. Before I ever posted to you, here's how you introduced yourself to me: "Try reading the ruling before opening your mouth", "making stupid asumptions", "wipe off my computer screen".
In my first post to you I acknowledged my mistake by saying "my bad". Quite civil, despite your tone.
Oh, but you looked at that as an invitation to be even more abusive, saying that I had "little knowledge of the law" and I should "do a bit more studying and research." You followed that with your bitchy little summary capped with "who's the real idiot here?"
It was only at that point that I responded to you in kind.
So, in summary -- you condescending little a$$wipe -- take your advice about "winning over people" and stick it.
