No, I don’t know where they are. But if I did, that would be a matter of attorney-client privilege.

Spokesperson confidentiality, yes. Like protecting my sources. That’s what I meant to say.

I do know what contempt of court means, yes. I brought my toothbrush.

No, I’m happy to answer any questions you have. Really.


One sided transcript of oral questioning at the Supreme Court. Started out promising, but ceased to be a story and became grandstanding about politics. I gather the author does not appreciate the way Citizens United v. FEC was decided by the US Supreme Court. I gather also that the author has no grip on how the Supreme Court works; I believe this type of hearing would actually be held by Congress. I also gather that the author has a rather remarkably poor grasp of economics. Anyway, I'm throwing this one in the avoid pile. A rare disappointment from Tor. ( )

A nice little story by Kim Stanley Robinson, about a lawyer defending a certain group of people who strive for a greener economy and lifestyle. The questions by the Court were omitted, so you only get to read the answers, which are also critical about how courts in the USA (seem to) work.

Free to read on Tor.com, click here to access it.

For a more detailed review, I'll just link to Tadiana's: see here. ( )

An amusing and imaginative short. ( )

This story didn't work for me. It's supposed to be a one-sided Supreme Court transcript, but it in no way read like one. And the core idea of photosynthetic humans fell flat for me, because my recollection is that the actual energy requirements are such that photosynthesis alone cannot provide them, and the story did nothing to address that question.
