Yeah.

That was good.

I think this is good.

No shade.

Kudos to Justice Jackson.

We've been to Coney Island before.

This is the case we talked about at the Wilkinson-Stechloff live show about what the time limit is under Rule 60C1 to get relief under 60B for something, a judgment you think was under that jurisdiction.

What is a reasonable time?

Like, if you read it, it seems to say that.

It is what the rule says.

It is what the lower court said it says.

It's not what any other court of appeals had said it says.

But it is what the lower court, in a great opinion by Joan Larson, said it says.

It is what Lisa Blatt said it says to the Supreme Court.

It is what the Supreme Court unanimously agrees that it says.

It is not what the not-very-good first-time advocate, who maybe deserved his client by keeping the case, argued.

Or footnote five.

So I think the way the case was framed was pretty simple.

And in a blog post at some point after the argument, I tried to flag sort of the three questions that were arguably outside of frame, which are, is this time limit unconstitutional?

Is there another way to attack boy judgments?
