Endrew F. v. Douglas Co. Sch. Dist. Re-1

CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS
It says “some benefit,” but you’re -- you’re reading it as saying “some benefit,” and the other side is reading it as saying “some benefit,” and you know that -- And it makes a difference.

JUSTICE KAGAN
Do you favor a standard with bite?
MR. KATYAL
It does have some bite. It does. We’re not trying to --
JUSTICE KAGAN
Would that be “some bite” or “some bite“?

Expressions Hair Design v. Schneiderman

JUSTICE ALITO
I mean, suppose some kids have a lemonade stand or they’re washing cars and they say a glass of lemonade, $1 and then somebody comes up to them and says I’d like to buy that with a credit card. It might happen today. I have -- I have never seen anybody younger than me buy anything with cash. But that would be a violation if they put the $1 there on the assumption that everybody is going to pay cash for their lemonade. These are tech savvy kids so they can -- could process a credit card purchase if they wanted to?
MR. WU
The statue has no exemption for kids selling lemonade.

Hold on -- now, hold on. You’re saying that the -- the American people are too dumb to understand that if you say $10 plus a 20-cent surcharge, they can’t figure out that that’s $10.20.
MR. FEIGIN
And the second reason, Your Honor, I think addresses that concern directly.

JUSTICE BREYER
Then what’s the problem with saying -- you -- you don’t -- you’re too young to know what the OPA was.
MR. GUPTA
I think -- I think so, Justice Breyer.
JUSTICE BREYER
It’s called the Office of Price Administration. Ken Galbraith ran it for a while. And they would -- what they would do, he said is they’d go around and they’d smell what the right price was.

Right. So what happens then? I mean, you -- I grant you have a tough side of this argument. It doesn’t seem very fair.
