It can many times be black and white....and many times fall into that grey area......that is when Umpire judgement comes into play......

I am sure you did before...but I bet that you now have a bit greater respect for the job umpires do on the field now that you entered the dark side for even a little.

That quote came from Jacobellis v. Ohio 378 U.S. 187 (1964) and was by Associate Justice Potter Stewart.

"I shall not attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthanded description ["hardcore pornography"]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that."

Probably the most famous quote ever by a Justice.
