Non-Sequiturs: 09.08.11

* Looks like you really screwed the Cooch. Virginia and its Obamacare challenge got slapped around today by the Fourth Circuit. [Blog of Legal Times] * Just how rich are the members of SCOTUS?

Law License Plates: Back to the Future

From The Dalai Lama To A Harvard Law Fellow? Free Tibet Movement Could Get Hardcore.
