“They aren’t on the Supreme Court because they’re never wrong; they’re never wrong because they’re on the Supreme Court.”

This pithy distinction between being actually infallible and being infallible only because there is no one with the authority to reverse you, was first expressed to me by Justice Thomas Crosby. Crosby was first my mentor, then my adversary, then my colleague, and now one of my heroes. If you walked into this movie after “The Cros” made his exit, you missed a lot. See 116 Cal.App.4th 1422, 1428-1431.
