Tom Goldstein is fighting back<\/a> this week against the government\u2019s wild indictment<\/a>, which painted a picture of Goldstein balancing a successful Supreme Court practice with an international high-stakes poker career, iffy financial arrangements, and multiple mistresses. He calls these government theories \u201cradical\u201d and \u201cbreathtaking.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

But if this all sounds like a made-for-TV story, consider that Goldstein\u2019s life was once pitched as an NBC pilot in 2009. It never got picked up. What was the show\u2019s tentative title?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hint: It\u2019s not This Is (SCOT)Us,\u00a0<\/em>but that would\u2019ve been a funny.<\/strong><\/p>\n
