Does no one proofread anymore?

I thought it was pretty bad when Missouri accidentally outlawed sex for a while in the mid-'90s. (They were trying to ban certain types of sex and had no skill at placing commas. And why is it no version of that sentence sounds quite clean?) That's pretty bad, but it's entirely possible that a 2005 law to ban gay marriage in Texas may well have ( Read more... )

Yeah. Me, too.

That is too amusing. Does everyone have to go to jail?

gryphonrhi November 19 2009, 02:08:45 UTC

No, they don't have to go to jail, but it could make contested wills damned interesting! It's a mess.

oh HEE! (and no, no one proofreads anymore!)

::shaking head:: No, they really don't! Lord, this is going to be a mess though!

The current AG here says that there's no legal issue. The one who's running for election says it's a huge issue. Either way, I've got popcorn.

Well, I have to say, if part A of a law defines marriage and then part B says the state can't recognize marriage or any equivalent... yeah, there's probably a problem. Definitely. Stock up on popcorn.

Wow. That's a case where the term EPIC FAIL is really appropriate.

Isn't it just? I mean, dear God. That is every bit as straightforward as "Congress shall make no laws regarding..." -- oh, wait, that one gets misinterpreted all the time. But, um, yeah. See icon.
