Snark from Connecticut

I love the humor that Judge Kravitz¹ injected in his opinion:²
[W]hile this Court does not pretend to be a “rocket docket,” this case has nonetheless proceeded extraordinarily quickly from filing to trial…
“[W]ith all due respect to the Connecticut General Assembly, the statute is not a model of clarity, and, in truth, its words are susceptible to more than one plausible interpretation.
Other than the ability of the legislature to place a comma where one is intended, [The Plaintiff] advances no reason at all, let alone a cogent one, why all reclassifications, reverse stock splits, and recapitalizations should be subject to the supermajority rule no matter whether they increase the holdings of interested shareholders, while mergers, consolidations and share exchanges with a subsidiary-through which exactly the same economic outcome can be achieved-should be excepted from the supermajority provisions if they satisfy the 5% Rule.
