A case of fowl play

In honor of Thanksgiving, let us know forget the infamous case Frigaliment Importing Co. v. B.N.S. International Sales Corp which faced the ever important question - What is chicken? What I do know, the Bluth family wouldn't be able to tell you.

Finish Him

 Schwarzenneger v. EMA:

JUSTICE KAGAN: It’s a candidate, meaning, yes, a reasonable jury could find that Mortal Combat [sic], which is an iconic game, which I am sure half of the clerks who work for us spend considerable amounts of time in their adolescence playing.

JUSTICE SCALIA: I don’t know what she’s talk[ing] about.

Justice Sotomayor incorporated her Star Trek knowledge by asking about torturing Vulcans.
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: Would a video game that portrayed a Vulcan as opposed to a human being, being maimed and tortured, would that be covered by the act?

Warning - this video has some inappropriate language. That being said. It is pretty hilarious.

When in doubt, reference an awesome movie

Possibly the best argument by parties trying to overturn EPA's greenhouse gas regulations:

"Like the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz pointing Dorothy in opposite directions on the Yellow Brick Road, EPA's contradictory directions have misled the public."

When a tomato has been splashed

"The first payment was also the last. Shortly after the sign was installed someone hit it with a tomato ... rust, also was visibile ... in its corners were 'little spider cobwebs'... 'some children's saying written down in here.'"
" And that really brings it down to the tomato. And of course, when a tomato has been splashed all over your clock, you don't like it." - Walter & Co. v. Harrison

Really? Seriously?

Law Schools Now Require Applicants To Honestly State Whether They Want To Go To Law School

September 15, 2010 | ISSUE 46•37

NEW YORK—A growing number of law schools have begun requiring applicants to specify in writing whether they do, in fact, have some desire to attend law school, or are just using it as a predictable last resort. "We want to separate those who actually see themselves becoming attorneys from those who just want to put off joining the adult world for another three years," Fordham Law School director Bruce Green said Thursday, showing reporters an application that asks students to check boxes marked "Really?" and "Seriously? You're really that into this?" "We want prospective students to know that they will actually have to study the U.S. legal system. As in, the whole thing." Word of the new requirement has already reportedly caused a 450 percent spike nationwide in applications to graphic design schools.
