Play a couple of flatted fifths for me, Bobert.

In the meantime, I am handing out reading assignments. Specifically, the Seattle decision, here: Recent Supreme Court Decisions . It's a PDF, the third one down, dated 6/28/07, Docket number        05-908.

Before any of of the rest of you wax on, I suggest you read Justice Roberts' decision, in it's entirety, followed by dissenting opinions of Justices Stevens and Breyers, which are also in the file.

Your opinions will be worth a little more when you know what you're talking about.
