The bill to scrap everything the lower courts did and to let a federal court decide whether or not there is any such thing as spousal rights anymore.

This would be the part where Schiff tells Jack McCoy he's not supposed to use the law to make new laws, right? He's old, he's fictional, but Adam Schiff, '08.

Except in L&O, we'd find out that Michael's judgement *shouldn't* count because he Klaused her. He'd be weeping on Skoda's shoulder already and the state of NY would have bought itself a million-dollar cauliflower.

Doesn't every dryer have a warning printed on it somewhere about not dryng things that may have gasoline on them? I know I've read it on a number of dryers while I was bored waiting for laundry.
