In an interview with Justice Breyer in the Daily Journal, Lawrence Hurley asked Justice Breyer about FantasySCOTUS.net.

DJ: Just one other thing – it goes to the visibility of the court – just the other day a recent law graduate  launched a Supreme Court fantasy league Web site [www.fantasyscotus.net]. People can go case by case and predict the outcome and there’s a prize at the end of the term.

Breyer: I don’t think I will bet on it.

DJ: I don’t think you’d be allowed to. I thought it does show there is that kind of public interest in the court we were talking about.

Breyer: I’m glad the public is interested. The more the public knows about the court, the better.

Straight from Justice Beyer. This is too cool. Is this *kinda* a citation from the Supreme Court?

Just because Justice Breyer won’t bet on it, shouldn’t stop yout. Sign up today!

Thanks to @LawrenceHurley for the tip.

-FantasySCOTUS made Holiday Wish List at Underneath Their Robes. Clerquette writes ” If you’re a betting man, woman, or Groupie, Clerquette says: Christmas has come early this year! Indulge! If you’re searching for a gift that will keep on giving — at least from October to late June/early July — look no further! FantasySCOTUS.net will keep your favorite groupie busy, away from productive activity, and unable to engage in telephone conversations while formulating bets for months to come. Hey: at least there’s no draft. ”
