* Judge Roger Vinson issued a seven day stay on his ruling that put the kibosh on Obama’s health care reform. The Barenaked Ladies accomplished a lot in one week, but I’m not sure the DOJ can do the same. [Bloomberg]

* What’s an essential tool to help you get through the second semester of 1L at an unaccredited law school? If you’re from Texas, an AK-47. [Boston Globe]

* “Ray Charles could see that those signatures were doctored.” Probably not what you want to hear from the judge during your public corruption trial. [Atlanta Journal-Constitution]

* Can you call someone an “asswipe nasty lying hosebag thief” on Twitter and get away with it? We’ll never know, because Twitter-twatter Courtney Love has settled her defamation lawsuit for $430K. [The Hollywood Reporter]

* A Bank of America attorney defected to Simpson Thacher as a financial services regulations partner. I guess it wasn’t such a bank of opportunity for her. [DealBook / New York Times]

* Do you have a constitutional right to give yourself cancer on a park bench? This guy thinks so, and he’ll probably be smoking through a stoma before he gives up the fight. [St. Louis Today]

* WWAD (What Would Alito Do)? He’d probably do this: Oregon and 44 other states are trying to put a football field in between funeral services and the Westboro Whackadoos. [Statesman Journal]
