I also saw one in an Alaska case and it took me SO FUCKING LONG to try to wrap my head around what the argument was because there WAS so much extraneous fuckery but he did win the appeal

(For the record he was not appealing sov cit stuff, he was suing the cops for roughing him up, but of course it was not simple to figure that out)

Totally. This brief was like 100 pages and I’m this baby law clerk trying to figure out how much time to spend on the argument that driving a car is a fundamental right.
