'This sentence is so convoluted,' he wrote, 'and so riddled with adjectives, as to be impenetrable to lawyer and lay reader alike. It is among the worst sentences I've encountered in all my [25] years of reading legal materials.' That's saying something, let me tell you. But, as he quickly admitted, he had spoken too soon: 'I was too hasty in concluding that the first sentence of this judgment was notably awful,' he wrote later in the same post. 'The very next sentence is even worse, surpassing the first in verbosity, obfuscation, flabbiness, meandering length, and analytical ineptitude.' He was not wrong.
