Ed Kranepool - Supreme Court Anecdote

Supreme Court Anecdote

Kranepool is associated with an amusing Supreme Court story. Justice Potter Stewart was a baseball fan who, while he was listening to oral arguments, asked one of his clerks to provide him with play by play accounts of the 1973 playoff game between the Mets and the Cincinnati Reds. A time of political turbulence, one of the notes read "Kranepool flies to right. Agnew resigns."

Famous quotes containing the words supreme court, supreme and/or court:

    The Supreme Court would have pleased me more if they had concerned themselves about enforcing the compulsory education provisions for Negroes in the South as is done for white children. The next ten years would be better spent in appointing truant officers and looking after conditions in the homes from which the children come. Use to the limit what we already have.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    I think that cars today are almost the exact equivalent of the great Gothic cathedrals: I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    As to “Don Juan,” confess ... that it is the sublime of that there sort of writing; it may be bawdy, but is it not good English? It may be profligate, but is it not life, is it not the thing? Could any man have written it who has not lived in the world? and tooled in a post-chaise? in a hackney coach? in a Gondola? against a wall? in a court carriage? in a vis a vis? on a table? and under it?
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
