Guido Calabresi

So my question is, how do I interpret JASTA with respect to these things, which of course will affect whether there is, under those definitions, enough evidence to get by this first step, and only this first step, of jurisdiction?

Um, yes, Judge Calabresi.

So I'd like to begin by just observing that it is true-- I agree that all, all you have before you is jurisdiction.

However, under the Supreme Court's decision in Helmerich, where a jurisdictional element and a merits element overlap, they must be decided at this stage of the case, um, with, um, in a s- with a s- slightly different burden, but nevertheless as an explicit findings of fact.

Um-

Can I ask a question, unless...

Judge Calabresi, did you want to follow up on that point still?

No.

And I think that's really important.

I was very lucky to clerk for a judge, Guido Calabresi, who had been the dean of Yale Law School for 10 years or so in the 80s.

And there are these wonderful stories about Guido when, in one case, a noted anti-Semite had been invited to campus.

In another case, a student group was going to play, was going to screen a pornographic film at the law school.
