Comments on: Crisis in the Patent Bar: Are 46 Judges (and their Past Opinions) Invalid? http://jonathanturley.org/2008/05/06/crisis-in-the-patent-bar-are-46-judges-and-their-past-opinions-invalid/ Res ipsa loquitur ("The thing itself speaks") Sat, 11 Feb 2012 05:16:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Binx101 http://jonathanturley.org/2008/05/06/crisis-in-the-patent-bar-are-46-judges-and-their-past-opinions-invalid/#comment-12836 Wed, 07 May 2008 01:12:45 +0000 http://jonathanturley.wordpress.com/?p=1746#comment-12836 I love the quote, but I liken to a wink and a nod. In the case of the Patent Judges – this is more like the Wedding Video of the young couple that had been robbed of some of the “envelopes” at their celebration.

Months later, with prime family members assembled for the viewing of the Wedding video – shiny pated pony player ‘Uncle Lenny’, seated on the couch with his 4th wife, is watching the video with the family. Soon, Uncle Lenny is clearly seen in the background of the video (although not the subject of the particular shot). The Groom’s jacket is hanging on the back of his empty chair while he dances the Macarena with the Bride and friends. The bald Uncle is seen slipping the stuffed envelope of cash offerings from the solitary jacket into the warm inside pocket of his own and quietly back away and blowing his nose.

That’s what I feel about the GOP stewardship over our Nation.

The GOP Congress acted recklessly? To paraphrase from the film Casablanca; I’m shocked to learn such things are going on…
