The Fuld Oral Arguments as Haiku
April 9, 2025
Justice Roberts:
This is all just words!
It sounds like a grab bag. Please:
Give us a clear test.
Justice Thomas:
PLO, PA?
Are these things “persons” really?
And do they have rights?
Justice Alito:
Why is this unfair?
Don’t the defendants have an
Office in New York?
Justice Sotomayor:
We still need fairness
Even when Congress passes
A long-arm statute
Justice Kagan:
This statute would fail
The Fourteenth Amendment test
But does it matter?
Justice Gorsuch:
History and our
Tradition say no limits
See Justice Story
Justice Kavanaugh:
In foreign affairs
Congress and the President
Should get the last say
Justice Barrett:
The Fifth is the Fifth
The Fourteenth is the Fourteenth
Ne’er the twain shall meet
Justice Jackson:
Originalists
Do you cite anything but
That Stephen Sachs guy?
