 * Delete this isn't an encyclopedia article, it's a text dump copy of a court transcript. If it isn't speediable it ought to be.  I reserve judgement on whether or not a decent article on the case can be written based on the notability claims that would lie therein Dunc|&#9786; 15:21, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry amendment; it's a SCOTUS case, hence notable. But the article needs to be started first. Dunc|&#9786; 18:12, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Transwiki if it isn't copyvio. Kappa 16:33, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I think such transcripts are considered PD. Dunc|&#9786; 18:12, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment It is my understanding that the court claims no copyright, but the various court reporting firms claim copyright in any annotations, headings and other reference aids. I think there was an early case between two SCOTUS court reporters over this. Only the actual text of publsihed opnions and arguemts is strictly PD I think.
 * Also keep the rewrite. Kappa 01:01, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
