An extreme example is the way in which some United States Supreme Court Justices use the dictionary to interpret complex federal statutes. In his plurality opinion in Rapanos v United States (2006), Justice Scalia sought to determine the scope of federal regulatory power over wetlands under the Clean Water Act (1972) not by reference to the statute’s stated goal of maintaining ‘the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the

Nation’s waters’ (§1251(a)), but rather by reference to the definition of ‘waters’ found in the version of Webster’s New International Dictionary published in 1954. Instead of considering whether conditions in the relevant wetlands could affect the Great Lakes system just one mile away, the plurality opinion off ered an exegesis of such common hydrological terms as ‘streams’, ‘oceans’, ‘rivers’, ‘lakes’, ‘bodies of water’, ‘ditches’, channels’, and ‘moats’—the latter of obvious concern to a 20th-century statute seeking to prevent water pollution ( Rapanos , pp. 732–6)

pretty sure everyone here is in law school and getting drunk in class constantly and raising their hands and yelling memes from the board and the professor laughs and awards them 180s and says see are.

Yes, but Scalia is ITALIAN. That's a special kind of unintellectual.

Italians are known for fashion, food, Ferraris, operas, and 1960s existential films -- not philosophy.

Swarthy, yes; brainy, no.
