"or it's all I'd ever do" ???


"Judge Gordon Kolodny:
Well, this has been fascinating, gentlemen. Kind of like debate night at Mensa. Mr. Gellman, that TV spot you’re defending is emphatically vile. But, Mr. Shore, he’s right. Political speech is not subject to prior judicial review. And thank the Lord, or it’s all I’d ever do. (he slams his gavel) We’re adjourned."
