- Common law has scope for judicial invention. So too equity, even federal, although like cases (however defined) demand like treatment.

Wow, it’s like he’s a wax figure from Madame Tussauds!!
Maybe he just likes his job?
Cute.
I recall a similar series of images of President George W Bush in the halcyon pre-9/11 days of him standing next to various cabinet and other appointees. The consistency of the tilt of his head and the sort of “did someone just fart” wrinkle of his nose were remarkable.
I suspect you could post a similar series of any person in public life who spends a lot of time standing and smiling with people with whom he or she would rather not be standing and smiling.
