Oh I forgot to write a thanks for the explanation you gave a few days ago.
Did you maybe read todays opinion?It has a dissenting opinion from Brown.
Its something about some workers from cable that went to a newsstation to protest(they had to pay fees to the company they worked for if the buyer didnt also take a telephone line).Later in the verdict it says it was a half truth because that only kicked in if less than 50% of their costumers also took a phoneline or sth.
Im curious if something could be read out of browns dissenting decision but unfortunately english isnt my mother language and its super exhausting for me to additonaly read through legal english.
But if someone feels like doing it, maybe it helps.

Some additional information about the Blackstone/Skadden document...

That confidential Treasury document - Discussion Materials June 13, 2011 - publicly appeared as a linked item in an article written by Dan Freed in "The Street" on July 29, 2014.

See the article - https://www.thestreet.com/story/12823463/1/fannie-and-freddie-investor-blackstone-also-sought-advisory-role.html and the linked document

- https://www.thestreet.com/files/tsc/common/pdfs/Blackstone%20Skadden%20pitch.pdf?utm_source=inlinetst&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=inlinetst

The document was soon picked up by blogs and forums including IHub, Seeking Alpha and timhoward 717 following its release.

The Street article and Treasury document appeared one year and four months plus before the document was found linked in Gretchen Morgenson's New York Times article that appeared on December 12, 2015 - http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/13/business/fannie-and-freddies-government-rescue-has-come-with-claws.html

The documents appeared in GSE litigation on 9/18/2014 with Perry Capital's motion for supplementation of Defendant's administrative records in the US District Court for the District of Columbia and again with the successful submission of the same document in the US Court of Appeals District of Columbia Circuit on 3/02/2016 as a supplement to a Joint Appendix. The motion was granted on 3/07/2016.
