  • Besides Chief Judge Easterbrook, who are the Judges on this panel? I didn't recognize the other two Judges' voices .

  • Bauer and Sykes.

  • I apologize, the case is a 7th Circuit case, USA v. Robert Lee Johnson (04-2732). You may use the case number to search for the MP3 of the oral arguments ont he 7th Circuit's website.

  • hahaha! try telling the judge, "you distinguish it." These judges were actually calm considering counsel.

    This guy much have gone out and gotten shit faced after this.

  • The case was United States v. Johnson, 123 Fed. Appx. 240 (7th Cir. Ind. 2005). The court could not distinguish the case from Illinois v. Caballes (holding that dogs sniffing the outside of a car was not an invasion of privacy). SCOTUS denied a writ of certiorari on Oct. 5, 2005.

    D was found with 500 grams of cocaine in his car.

  • I've heard pro se inmates with no experience make more persuasive arguments in district courts.

  • Counsel: "Based on the dog."

    Judge: "Based on the Supreme Court!"

    Priceless.

  • @SecretStasher I think he went out and got shit faced BEFORE this.

  • Who won?

  • i'd think this was funny if it was't so sad. This guy did a woeful job for his client.

  • I wonder if the opposing counsel could sue this guy for the rotator cuff surgery they had to get from all the high-fiving they did during his argument

  • LOL! I feel a lot better about my 1L moot court arguments now :)

  • Counsel's a moron. What a fool.  He should be disbarred. He should have been canned behind the courthouse for his disrespect to the Court.

  • You think that you would take the time to have a hunting accident staged before going through with something like this.
