I promise you, it would shut up all these men who want to tell women what to do with their bodies. [WSJ Law Blog]

* I don’t think this happens all of the time. And by “this” I mean actually catching the racist cop on tape. [The Root]

* Hey, creating lawyer jobs counts as job creation. [Overlawyered]

* Serious legal question: can Knicks fans get a temporary restraining order to prevent Kim Kardashian from dating, or even talking to, Jeremy Lin? I’ll file the goddamn papers myself to keep that big-breasted succubus away from the LINstigator. [Gawker]
