Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Bwahahaha!!

When John G. Roberts submitted his questionnaire responses over the summer, he was able to tell the Senate Judiciary Committee that he had argued more than 65 cases in the federal appellate courts, including 39 before the U.S. Supreme Court. He said the subject matter of those cases "covered the full range of federal jurisdiction, including administrative law, admiralty, antitrust, arbitration, banking, bankruptcy, civil rights, constitutional law, environmental law, federal jurisdiction and procedure, First Amendment, health care law, Indian law, interstate commerce, labor law and patent and trade dress law."

Harriet Miers? She remembers serving as lead or sole counsel in only four trials that went as far as a verdict, and there's no indication in her responses that the trials took place in federal court. She remembers arguing four appeals in federal court, but only two of those turned primarily on federal-law issues -- and one of those, which she argued on behalf of George W. Bush, involved the rarely litigated 12th Amendment. As for the U.S. Supreme Court? Miers says she filed petitions for certiorari on behalf of two pro bono clients. The Supreme Court denied them both.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

You guys know you're just enabling me to think about this instead of my paper, right?

It's what we do best.

It doesn't always nip in. Case in point: [link]

bon bon, try the Notify ringtone, if you have that. I just checked my newish motorola, and that's still there. I think it goes off just the one time.

I have my phones (work cell and personal cell) on Vibe Then Ring, which usually gives me a chance to catch them going off before it gets too loud.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

If anyone finds any mistakes, let me know. I did most of it at midnight and can't guarantee perfection.
