Is it a coup yet?
1:31 pm

After less then a month of Civil Procedure, I see how this is going, but still there oughta’ be a law.

From House Resolution 2028, pending votes and stuff:
`No court created by Act of Congress shall have any jurisdiction, and the Supreme Court shall have no appellate jurisdiction, to hear or decide any question pertaining to the interpretation of, or the validity under the Constitution of, the Pledge of Allegiance, as defined in section 4 of title 4, or its recitation.’.

A Horse is not a vehicle

“A horse is a horse, of course, of course
but the Vehicle Code does not divorce
its application from, perforce
a steed as my colleagues said

‘It’s not vague,’ I’ll say until I’m hoarse
and whether a car, a truck or horse
this law applies with equal force
and I’d reverse instead.”

– Pennsylvania State Supreme Court Justice Michael Eakin

(In a ruling regarding the application of drunk driving statutes to those on horseback)

With Apologies to Mike Judge

You know, law school is no picnic. I had a friend in there once. He said the trick is kick a case’s ass the first day, or become some professor’s bitch. Then everything will be alright.

Would it be a good idea to pass a note to the person in front of me telling her to put the black six on the red seven in her game of Solitaire during torts?

The Apache group’s position on Sender-ID

Also known as “Why spamassassin doesn’t do sender-authentication.”

Hint: Microsoft is being someone unreasonable about patents and open licenses…

Uh, missing the point…

Dispatch from EFF
Tech support for Microsoft’s new MSN Music service is responding to the incompatibility between its downloads and the iPod by advising its customers to burn the downloads to CD, then rip the CD to a compatible format.
I’m pretty sure that this is a violation of the DMCA. Also, I’m sure Microsoft has some deal with the studios that they’d implement a functional DRM system in order to get the rights to distribute. I’m not sure it’s such a good idea to turn around and start publishing ways to circumvent.
