So I would not apply the filing bar the court imposes for frequent frivolous filers to prisoners who, like Howell, seek to proceed IFP.

Justice Stevens had a perpetual dissent in every Martinization order.

It appeared on the orders list back before reading the orders list was cool.

So Justice Stevens had by far more dissents per term than anybody else in the court and nobody ever counted it.

I have thought ever since Justice Stevens left the court that it was a shame that nobody else on the liberal wing of the court was going to pick up that banner.

And I tried unsuccessfully for several years to get Justice Sotomayor to pick up the banner.

How?

Did you like talk to her?

No, I didn't talk to her.

She doesn't know who I am.

You just, you just, you know, tried to send her.

I just announced, I just announced you should do it over and over again.

And then when Justice Jackson joined the court and started becoming skeptical of Munsonware orders, which are sort of, I was like, maybe we're going to get there.

So I'm going to say it now.

I think this is Justice Jackson's best opinion of all time, possibly going to be the best opinion of her career.

Good for you, Justice Jackson.

I mean, I will say, you know, we don't know the equilibrium in a world without Martinization.

Maybe somebody would start filing, you know, like multiples a day or something.

I'm not sure.

And the burden is not just the law clerks, right?
