> a Supreme Court Justice once said, “I’ll know it when I see it”. And we think that you will also know it when you cross it.

I personally think this is the worst line that ever came out of a Supreme Court decision because of how simple it is. It is such a blatant low effort cop out that legitimizes arbitrary rulings. At least usually they obfuscate it with legal jargon and historical rulings.



The quote is infamous for being a terribly useless statement. Not sure why they would want to use something like that to defend themselves


I think of it as the legal version of the observation from psychology that some tasks (e.g. recognition of images) are performed by the brain without conscious understanding of the process.
