# Colonial American Life Insurance Company v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue/Dissent Stevens

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
* Dissenting Opinion Stevens
Justice STEVENS, with whom Justice BLACKMUN and Justice O'CONNOR join, dissenting.
Charting one's course through the intricacies of the Internal Revenue Code on the basis of first principles rather than statutory text can be hazardous. Intuitively, the Court concludes that the ceding commission a reinsurer pays to indemnify a direct insurer on its policy risks constitutes the purchase price for a capital asset because it produces a stream of future income. The same intuition should lead to the conclusion that the commission a direct insurer pays to acquire policies that will bring future profits constitutes a capital expenditure. Yet everyone agrees that the latter payment is currently deductible. See ante, at 250. #fn-s
If the Court had begun its analysis with the text of 26 U.S.C. § 809 (1970 ed.) and the regulations promulgated thereunder instead of waiting until after it had decided the case on its view of first principles to respond to the statutory provision-it might well have recognized the merit in the taxpayer's position. Section 809(c)(1) distinguishes between assumption and indemnity reinsurance, providing that return premiums "arising out of" an indemnity reinsurance transaction are deductible from gross premiums received. See ante, at 256. The Treasury Regulations thus confirm that while payments made by an assumption reinsurer for purchases of policies must be amortized, Treas.Reg. § 1.817-4(d)(2)(ii)(B), 26 CFR § 1.817-4(d)(2)(ii)(B) (1988), "consideration returned to another life insurance company [by an indemnity reinsurer] in respect of reinsurance ceded" is immediately deductible from the reinsurer's gross premiums. Treas.Reg. § 1.809-4(a)(1)(ii), 26 CFR § 1.809-4(a)(1)(ii) (1988). There is no warrant in the text for the Court's rulings that assumption reinsurance and indemnity reinsurance should be treated alike for tax purposes, ante, at 251, and that experience refunds constitute return premiums while ceding commissions do not. See ante, at 257-258. In the context of this transaction, in which the ceding commission was netted against the initial reinsurance premium, the commission quite literally is a sum that the "reinsuring company has been paid and then must remit to the . . . ceding company." Ante, at 258. In all events, for the reasons stated in full in Judge Will's opinion for the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Merit Life Ins. Co. v. Commissioner, 853 F.2d 1435 (1988), cert. pending, No. 88-955, I would reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals.

# Constant swain (1)/The Constant Swain

THE CONSTANT SWAIN.
WHERE is my constant jewel, my joy and heart's delight? Why does she prove so cruel, as to forsake me quite?
I might have had much treasure, had I forsook her charms, I lov’d her out of measure, I wish'd her in my arms.
How oft have I beheld her, the charming beauty bright, Her charms were so delighting, she ravished my sight.
Each morning that I view'd her, her cheeks were lovely red, With pleasure I review'd her, as she lay on her bed.
She's tall and she is slender, and every way complete, She is handsome for to follow, and clever for to meet.
Her lips are red as rubies, here eyes are black as sloes, Her charms are so delighting, she wounds where'er she goes.
​So fare you well sweet Nancy, since you so cruel prove, I'll try for to forget you and all the pains of love.
Although you are so cruel, you have stole my heart away, No other girl I'll marry until my dying day.
She hearing of his mourning, she turn'd to him again, And said, My dearest Jamie, I'll ease you of your pain.
Because you've been so loyal, I'll prove your loving wife, And constant I will be to you, all the days of your life.
# Constant swain (1)/The White Conduit House

THE WHITE CONDUIT HOUSE.
COME, come my dear Bet, The sun is just set, All nature looks smiling you see, At White Conduit House, Each sweetheart and spouse, Are now drinking coffee and tea, Are, &c.
The pleasure so sweet, This charming retreat, Disburdens their minds from all care, The prospect so clear, Will please you my dear, Then straight to the place let's repair &c.
​The garden my love, If thou wilt approve, I there can my passion reveal, How pleasing 'twould be, My angel, to me? If love you no longer conceal.If, &c.
There's music to charm, Thy bosom ’twill warm, The ideas of love to possess, Then Betsy comply, And do not deny, This instant your Tommy to bless.&c.
Ye lovers draw near, My story pray hear, I will make you in love with the sex, I whisper’d my mind, And Betty was kind. No longer she strives to perplexNo, &c.
The ev’ning draws on, And we must be gone, Each heart now with pleasure o'erflows, The maxim will shew, The passion that’s true. If repulsed the stronger it grows.If, &c.

# Constant swain (1)/Blind Cupid

BLIND CUPID
BLIND Cupid for ever, I defy thy both quiver: Neither do I regard thy long bow, Nor arrow shall prick me, Nor woman outwit me, I am free from all sorrow and woe.
If Jenny had been loyal I had ne'er stood the trial, Of any girl but her in life, I oftentimes told her, Which made her the bolder, ’Twas on purpose to make her my wife.
​But the jade being wanton, She must needs play the whore, So eagerly that was her fame, Then I solemnly swore, I would love her no more. But laugh at her folly and shame.
But blest be the hour, That first gave her power, Of Cupid, that little blind boy, Though I cannot deny, Sometimes by the bye. All the pleasures of love I enjoy’d.

# Constant swain (1)/A Friendly Advice

A FRIENDLY ADVICE.
MORTALS, wifely learn to measure Life, by the extent of joy ; Life’s a short and fleeting pleasure: Then be gay, while you may, And your hours in mirth employ.
​Never let a mistress pain you, Tho’ she meets you with a frown; Fly to wine, 'twill soon unchain you, Cheer thy heart, and all smart In a sweet oblivion drown.
If love's fiercer flames should seize you, To some gentle maid repair; She'll with soft endearments cafe you; On her breast lull'd to rest, Eas'd of love, and free from care.
Friendship, love, and wine united, From all ills defend the mind; By then guarded and delighted; Happy stare, smile at fare, And give sorrows to the wind.
# Constant swain (1)/A Jorum of This

A JORUM OF THIS.
YE tippling fouls, as ye pass by, Step in and taste, I know you're dry, And when you've done, don't take't amiss, To pawn your shirt for a jug of this.
Now gentlemen before you call, I can neither write on board nor wall, For the meaning of my song is this, I can't trust you a quart of this.
It's you that have got half a crown, Are kindly welcome to sit down, And if you have got your money flush, You may prime your nose o'er a jug of this.
​You gods that sees a future state, Some other beasts may have their fate; May the gods transform me to fish, That I might swim in a jug of this.
Was I cast on some distant shore, Where do the foaming billows roar, For my desire would be in this, To a lovely lass and a jug of this.
Yet was I sick both pale and wan, And scarcely able for to stand, All my own cure could be in this, A lovely lass and a jug of this.
When I am dead and laid in my grave, No corse-like-tomb-stone let me have: Give me my desire and crown my wish, Drink o'er my grave ⟨hogs⟩head of this.

ADVICE TO THE FAIR SEX.
WHEN the shepherd seeks to woo, mind them left they faithless prove, But if once you find them true, fear not to reward their love.
Let not beauty make you vain, men of worth deserves your care; Never give a lover pain if you find his heart sincere.
Love, the source of every joy, ask whatever we can give, Love should every hour employ, ’tis for love alone we live.

STEER HER up, and ha'd HER gaw'n,
O Steer her up, and ha'd her gawn, her mither's at the mill, jo; But gin the winna tak a man, e'en let her tak her will, jo,
​Pray thee, lad, leave silly thinking, cast thy cares of love away ; Let our sorrows drown in drinking, ’tis daffin anger to delay.
See that shining glass of claret, how invitingly it looks; Tak it all, and let’s hae mair o't, pox on lighting trade, and books.
Let’s hae mair pleasure while we’re able, bring us in the meikle bowl, Plac’t on the middle of the table, and let wind and weather gowl.
Call the drawer, let him fill it fou, as ever it can hold: O tak tent ye dinna spill it, ’tis mair precious far than gold.

Justice SCALIA, concurring in part and concurring in the judgment.
Since the manner of attachment here was not a recognized procedure at common law, cf. Pacific Mutual Life Ins. Co. v. Haslip, 499 U.S. ----, ----, 111 S.Ct. 1032, ----, 113 L.Ed.2d 1 (1991) (SCALIA, J., concurring in judgment), I agree that its validity under the Due Process Clause should be determined by applying the test we set forth in Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319, 96 S.Ct. 893, 47 L.Ed.2d 18 (1976); and I agree that it fails that test. I join Parts I and III of the Court's opinion, and concur in the judgment of the Court.

## Concurring Opinion

    Scalia
United States Supreme Court
501 U.S. 1
Connecticut v. Doehr
No. 90-143 Argued: Jan. 7, 1991. --- Decided: June 6, 1991
Syllabus
A Connecticut statute authorizes a judge to allow the prejudgment attachment of real estate without prior notice or hearing upon the plaintiff's verification that there is probable cause to sustain the validity of his or her claim. Petitioner DiGiovanni applied to the State Superior Court for such an attachment on respondent Doehr's home in conjunction with a civil action for assault and battery that he was seeking to institute against Doehr in the same court. The application was supported by an affidavit in which DiGiovanni, in five one-sentence paragraphs, stated that the facts set forth in his previously submitted complaint were true; declared that the assault by Doehr resulted in particular injuries requiring expenditures for medical care; and stated his "opinion" that the foregoing facts were sufficient to establish probable cause. On the strength of these submissions, the judge found probable cause and ordered the attachment. Only after the sheriff attached the property did Doehr receive notice of the attachment, which informed him of his right to a postattachment hearing. Rather than pursue this option, he filed a suit in the Federal District Court, claiming that the statute violated the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. That court upheld the statute, but the Court of Appeals reversed, concluding that the statute violated due process because, inter alia, it permitted ex parte attachment absent a showing of extraordinary circumstances, see, e.g., Mitchell v. W.T. Grant Co., 416 U.S. 600, 94 S.Ct. 1895, 40 L.Ed.2d 406, and the nature of the issues at stake in this case increased the risk that attachment was wrongfully granted, since the fact-specific event of a fist fight and the question of assault are complicated matters that do not easily lend themselves to documentary proof, see id., at 609-610, 94 S.Ct., at 1901.
Held: The judgment is affirmed.
898 F.2d 852 (CA 2 1990), affirmed.
Justice WHITE delivered the opinion of the Court with respect to Parts I, II, and III, concluding that:
