Ouch. And What?
I am reading the oral argument transcript in Youngstown. Here is an actual exchange with the Solicitor General:
JUSTICE FRANKFURTER: In the Myers case there was a good deal of 'tall talk,' and in the Humphreys case the unanimous Court said that these principles were disproven.
MR. PERLMAN: The Court there--Mr. Justice Jackson pointed out in his book, "Struggle for Judicial Supremacy"
JUSTICE FRANKFURTER: I point out what the Court said.
JUSTICE JACKSON: Justice Frankfurter did not read the book.
MR. PERLMAN: I suppose I should take advantage of this opportunity to recommend it to him.
JUSTICE FRANKFURTER: Doctor Johnson said, you know, you can give a person knowledge, but not understanding.
MR. PERLMAN: If that is meant for me, it is a dirty dig.
JUSTICE FRANKFURTER: It is meant for me.
