Yesterday's discussion at the Supreme Court between Justice Boatload Kagan and Mr. Clement reminded me of your response to me regarding the free corn.
me: Free corn!
You: Who's paying.
JUSTICE KAGAN: Now, suppose I'm an employer, and I see somebody I really like, and I want to hire that person. And I say, I'm going to give you $10 million a year to come work for me. And the person says, well, I -- you know, I've never been offered anywhere approaching $10 million a year. Of course, I'm going to say yes to that.
Now we would both be agreed that that's not coercive, right?
MR. CLEMENT: Well, I guess I would want to know where the money came from. And if the money came from -JUSTICE
KAGAN: Wow. Wow. I'm offering you $10 million a year to come work for me, and you are saying that this is anything but a great choice?
MR. CLEMENT: Sure, if I told you, actually, it came from my own bank account. |
