The plot line of the film revolves around the notion that a conservative president in the wake of the Supreme Court justices assassinations will appoint two conservative justices who will in theory vote in favor of Victor Mattiece being able to drill for his oil in the Louisiana Bayou. However, there is a major flaw in this theory. If Mattiece assassinated the two justices there is no way of knowing if the conservative justices appointed will be nature lovers. The film tries to make the assumption that a conservative justice would be anti-environment but clearly that is flawed thinking as assassinated Justices Jensen, a staunch conservative, was also an environmentalist. While it's a certain that the president will appoint two conservatives to the bench Mattiece has no way of knowing if they will be for or against the environment. The film also makes it clear that the president was in no way aware of Mattiece's intentions to assassinate the justices and seemingly out of the loop as to his drilling problems until the Pelican Brief is written. In fact once it's clear that the Pelican Brief might become public knowledge, the President is advised by Fletcher Coal to make sure that whoever he nominates to the court is a nature lover as a way of assuring the public that the president was in no way aware or involved with Mattiece's plan. Thus is Mattiece's plan at best was a crap shoot.
