that引导宾语从句位于句首时可省略that吗

The judges on the Federal Circuit are “reacting to the anti-patent trend at the Supreme Court”, says Harold C. Wegner, a patent attorney and professor at George Washington University Law School. 

按语法规定:句中 that 引导的宾语从句位于句首,不可省略 that,但这个句子的 that 却省略了,这是为什么呢?

置于句首的不是宾语从句,也不省略 that。其实它是一种自由直接引语。所谓语自由直接引语,就是指基本具备直接引语的特征,但不用引号。比如:

Oh, Mama, Ida thought, did I know you? Did you know me? What am I afraid of? She asked herself and she thought, I am a widow and losing my look. I am afraid of the future.(引自章振邦《新编英语语法》下册)
