    Judge Posner Ups the Nastiness in Dispute with Scalia-Garner
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=61415>

<http://www.nationallawjournal.com/legaltimes/id=1202654934632/Judge-Posner-Responds-to-Latest-Criticism-in-Feud?slreturn=20140412130830>:

    "Please convey my congratulations to Bryan Garner on inventing a new
    form of arbitration," Posner wrote in an email Saturday to Legal
    Times. "Two parties have a dispute; one appoints an arbitrator to
    resolve the dispute; the other disputant is not consulted."

    Posner, who sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh
    Circuit, continued: "How beautifully that simplifies arbitration! No
    need for the parties to agree on an arbitrator, or for the American
    Arbitration Association to list possible arbitrators and the
    disputants cross out the ones they don't like."

I guess statutory interpretation battles really can get people riled up.
