Lyrical references need to match not only the subject matter (which it did), but also be situationally appropriate. The opinion was fine, nobody was hurt, it was a rather mundane case, etc. <br /><br />Now, do I like when Pryor or Carnes start an opinion affirming some poor guy's 200 year sentence with snark? No, I do not, not appropriate for the matter.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-45345218773570789632017-03-09T13:28:16.767-05:002017-03-09T13:28:16.767-05:00You know what's really cringe-worthy?

No coincidence that some of the best judges (Kozinski, Reinhardt, Fernandez in the 9th, Posner, Easterbrook in the 7th, just to name a few) write very eloquent and interesting opinions. I would certainly add Rosenbaum to that group.
