The Fuld Oral Arguments as Haiku

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?
