Back on September 10, I had a long post criticizing some dicta in a wiretapping opinion by Judge Easterbrook: The Perils of Interpreting Statutes With Multiple Remedial Schemes: A Comment on the Dicta in United States v. Szymuszkiewicz. Apparently DOJ wasn’t very happy with the language, either, as I understand the government filed a motion to amend the opinion. In any event, I’m pleased to say that the panel in that case recently entered an order deleting the relevant paragraphs. That’s good news.
