A year ago, the Third Circuit issued a non-published per curiam opinion in an inmate-rights appeal. Even though I normally don’t blog about non-precedential opinions, I wrote a long and overwrought post about why I thought this one was unfair, peppered with sophisticated legal terms such as “wacky,” “ohbytheway,” and “hooey.” Future generations will remember it as the ‘shaking of my little fist’ post.

The Third Circuit thereafter denied rehearing, and today the Supreme Court denied certiorari.

Sorry, Mr. Coulston. I still think you were right.
