How Many Drunk Mexicans Live In Dahlia's Head?
We recently received an interesting piece of reader feedback that we’d like to pass along to you. It relates to the recent Tequilagate scandal, which we previously deemed to be “kinda stupid.” We predict that we’ll get some hate mail and negative comments over this (perhaps from the webmaster of this site). But we’ll push […] -
Antonin Scalia, Drinking, Ridiculousness, Supreme Court
A Tempest Over Tequila
Yes, we’ve heard all about “Tequilagate.” And we think it’s kinda stupid. Yesterday the Supreme Court kicked off October Term 2006 with oral argument in Lopez v. Gonzales and Toledo-Flores v. United States. (Yeah, you guessed it — cases about the intersection of criminal and immigration law.) From Linda Greenhouse’s account of the proceedings: Part […] - Sponsored

Rachel Kovner: Poor Little Rich Girl?
In light of our earlier posts about Cristina Schultz and Rachel Kovner, Friday is rapidly turning into “Women of Stanford Law” day here at ATL. And that’s not about to change. We’ve received some interesting responses to our wall-to-wall coverage of Ms. Kovner — whom we are determined to turn into a celebrity, whether she […] -

Lawsuit of the Day: Diddy or Didn't He?
Over the years, rap impresario Sean Combs has tried on monikers like designer sneakers. He’s gone by “Puffy,” “Puff Daddy” (our personal favorite), “P. Diddy,” and, most recently, “Diddy.” But on the other side of the pond, Sean Combs will have to find another nonsensical name to call himself. From the BBC: Rap star Sean […] -

Fun With Washington Post Headlines
Okay, look, we get it. Given that Justice Anthony M. Kennedy is now the swing vote on the Supreme Court, how long he will remain on the Court — and his health, which obviously affects the length of his tenure — is of critical importance. But we still found it odd that the Washington Post […]
