Justice Kagan’s top Spider-Man jokes from today’s patent case

Dear tumblr,

I know the venn diagram of comic book nerds and law nerds is a thin sliver, but the fact that no one on my whole dashboard discovered this today and yelled about it made me a little sad.

And a little happy, too, because I get to share it with you.

In a patent case between Marvel and a guy who created what later became a Spider-Man toy, Justice Kagan pulled out all kind of Spider-Man references. Including, but not limited to, the best cf. citation of all time.

And what else have I learned from this? That according to The Supreme Court Review, she is a massive comic fan and her favorite movie is The Avengers.

Shit, guys, now I have to reconfigure my whole list of favorite lady justices! 

Regardless, I hope you enjoy.
