This is not going to happen but wouldn't it be cool if this jury (or any jury
deciding software patents really) were to ask during deliberation why the patent
they are deciding on is valid because it is just basically maths and they
thought you couldn't patent maths.
This kind of thing never happens though because the Jury is not going to be
filled with people with the prerequisite knowledge to ask the fundamental
questions on patents. Also the Judges probably don't want to go down the whole
whole rabbit hole that is software patents validity.

Wouldn't that create estoppel of using patents defensively?
In order to use patents defensively, you have to be able to sue your attacker,
correct? Arguing that software patents are a figment of the Supremes'
imaginations could take the wind out of that sail.
