This not about Court Opinions, its about speeches. His Court Opinions are memorable and im often said they went to his opinions first for that reason, they were so crispy written and evocative and powerful and his speeches have the same qualities as his opinions do. He could let more of his personality shine through for one thing. He was a great performer, a little bit of a ham. He played macbeth in a High School Production and i think the president of georgetown theater club so that shined through in the speeches in the way it doesnt in the opinions. And Court Opinions are necessarily they have to follow certain conventions that are asked to turn off the average person who is not a court person or a law student.
