ADVERTISEMENTS

We've previously had discussions on whether a judge is like a baseball umpire.  (I acknowledge that my views are in the minority.)  Over at the Yale Law Journal Online, Aaron Zelinsky gives us a history of the metaphor (which I great enjoyed reading) and then suggests that a SCOTUS justice is really like the Commissioner of Major League Baseball (an analogy I don't like).  So if this topic appeals to you, "play ball!" in the comments.
