What's left behind the scenes
- The hearings take place in the US Senate. One of the parties in the debate is Foghorn Leghorn, who is a parody of the fictional Senator Claghorn from Fred Allen's old radio show.
- During the hearings, a precedent is mentioned—the case of 'Sylvester vs. Gonzalez.' This refers to the characters of the Looney Tunes animated franchise, in which a predator is unable to catch its prey.
- The surnames in the name of the law firm 'Avery, Jones and Maltese' are borrowed from Warner Bros. animators Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, and Michael Maltese.
