One of the few times that a Supreme Court judge
led the 'neck-tie' party. If the other 6 hadn't been secret 'Munchkinophiles' ol' Slappy would have been a rather grusome addition to the statue of Law.
Did you ever get your hands on the unrated copy of that opinion? Wow! According to a section jointly written by O'Connor and Stevens, the "Federal Bench," despite mistaken common usage, actually refers to a discrete object, not unlike a love-seat. Apparently, the "Bar" also refers to a trapeze like apparatus in a secret dungeon below the Court. I won't ruin it for you, but it seems that gavels have multiple uses!
