       @brewsterkahle How else are you supposed to pay for your verdicts?These political correctness crazies have made it impossible to simple hand over an envelope, as one did in civilized places.

       @brewsterkahle To me, the point is how many copies of those books were sold. If the royalties were inadequately high, you were right claiming that the publisher „paid them“ so much (i.e. too much, maybe even lost money on these contracts). If not, it was just what they deserved as the creators of literature.

       @brewsterkahle expanding the court would also make it easier for justices to recuse without affecting the outcome of a case

       @brewsterkahle I think it's time to remember that we can impeach Supreme Court justices.
