And here's the news:
Congress passes the 'partial birth abortion ban' which bans all pregnancies after the first trimester. Bill is without a health exception. Clinton refused it twice while in office for that very shortcoming. It will be the first time in history that a safe, and sometimes neccessary, prescribed procedure will be banned. Judicial challenge expected.
Jeb bush pushes a piece of legislation through Florida's legislature, to prevent a bain dead woman who's been on a feeding tube for years from being taken off that tube. The woman's husband has been in battle with her parents forever. He had won a court injunction to have her taken off, but Bush saved the day!
(Damn this family is stupid)
On the lighter side:
The Sushi Memo! A NY paralegal was asked to write a legal memorandum on sushi, after the partners repeatedly got bad sushi at luncheons. She researched the issue, discovering the best sushi restaurants that would deliver to the law firm. Comes complete with 8 footnotes and 2 exhibits (menus). It now circulates the web widely. You too can read about it here: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/22/nyregion/22SUSH.html NYTimes article
And too, In a suit against rap artist Eminem dismissed by the court, the judge had her clerks write the opinion as a rap. Read more: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/newsarticle.asp?nid=18848 (the opinion is included in part)...
If I find the whole thing I'll post it as a comment. Westlaw doesn't seem to have it...
