Texas Supreme Court Approvingly Cites Movie About Pot-Smoking And Porn

Taking constitutional cues from The Big Lebowski...

For your information, the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint.

— Texas Supreme Court Justice Debra Lehrmann, quoting Walter Sobchak in a footnote to Kinney v. Barnes (full disclosure: Kinney is an Above the Law advertiser, while Barnes is… well, this guy). While the movie may seem like a surprising citation for the conservative Texas bench, in their defense, Walter is a gun-toting crazy man so he blends in with a lot of their jurisprudence.
