KBJ’s dissent in the injunction deserves to be canonical. I’ll confess I find it extremely irritating that the majority says, in effect, they don’t get it. “What’s going on there. Why is she being weird. We’re doing law here.” She is smarter and knows more about law than they do.

I think the best trilogy of films is the Master trilogy: The Master (2012), The Master of Disguise (2002), and Master and Commander: Far Side of the World (2003)
