Where as Brad, on the other hand, not so much. Jason, sorry to say but you look at home in that suit and very much like a lawyer (is that a requirement to go to law school?).

Glad to see you, Brad and Amy were able to be there. Kudos to Phil for getting you all ringside seats. And kudos to you for laying out your preconceived notions and the surprising outcome when your final "votes" were in. Had you and Brad donned sun glasses, you'd have passed for the Blues Brothers. A friend of mine from law school clerked for Breyer (and also for David Souter). He's the only person I know who had the good fortune to have clerked for two living members of the Supremes. It seems highly unlikely that software patents will be addressed in the Court's final decision, but I'm sure we will all read the opinion - when the decision issues - with an eager eye toward what the Court might be expected to do in a case that is focused on software rather than business methods patents.
