You can Never Be Too Blonde.
"A Summary Judgment Motion is an opinion that is brief." said Laura Ingrahm on the Bill O'Really show last night discussing Sotomayer's Ricci opinion. She meant to say A summary judgment motion is an opinion that is a summary. That's because she must not expect that any real lawyers are actually watching.
The only thing more hysterical than the blonde mouths castigating supreme court choices (Laura Ingrams has a degree in what? communications? home ec? cosmetology? fashion?) is
Rep. King feeling qualified to judge the dancing talents of Michael Jackson.
At least Ann Coulter has a law degree. And I guarantee you she wasn't No. 1 in her class at Princeton as was Sotomayor- in fact she went to Cornell and Princeton beat us at Crew. And another one for Ann- in case anyone gets the misguided notion to make us watch her on Fox for a solid few hearing days- while Michigan Law might be considered the "Harvard of the Midwest", Sotomayor went to the Harvard of Harvard. The real one. The one in Cambridge. The one Ann didn't get into.
A Summary Judgment MOTION (for everyone who has never either been in a court, a lawsuit, had a lawyer as a relative, or been to law school) is not an OPINION, it's a MOTION asking the court for an OPINION after the other side has a chance to respond. Further, a Summary Judgment MOTION doesn't have to be all that "brief"- the "brief" portion is typically limited to a certain number of pages depending on the court (State, Federal, etc....25 pages, 30 pages,) and it can have a pile of Exhibits numbering in the hundreds if necessary....
Laura, Laura, Laura. If only your education matched your passionate vitriol.
Is this the formula for successful talking head punditry? No matter how unknowledgeable all one has to do is spit bottle blonde nastiness and half the country buys it? Because I am just about ready to dunk my head in a vat of peroxide so I can set the record straight.
And then she blasted the San Francisco Mayor's initiative to keep californians healthy and fit by
his initiative to reform the menus in schools and prisons demanding her Cheetos. http://www.examiner.com/x-7030-SF-Sustainable-Food-Examiner~y2009m7d8-Mayor-Gavin-Newsom-announces-a-regional-sustainable-food-policy-for-San-Francisco

Didn't she have CANCER not too long ago? Did no one tell her about the macrobiotic connection between nutrition and cancer? Is she kidding. "Food" made of orange dye, plastic and chemicals in heathy doses can have nothing whatsoever to do with health (not that Cheetos is made of that- don't sue me Cheetos or I might have to write a brief Summary Judgment motion brief, er opinion,) neither does ingesting vast quantities of radioactive processed styrofoam we call lunch lately, does it. SERIOUSLY!
Are we in a 'I'll say anything indignantly if you pay me enough" culture? Is this the real culture war- between the Irate Indignant Ignorant (I--cubed) and the more thoughtful reflective semi-silent majority? Thank God we have at least that flaming red head Joy Behar.

POSTSCRIPT- ERRATA CORRECTION. Sotomayor went to Yale, not Harvard law. Also a school Ann didn't go to. Yale is arguably the top Law School in the Country depending on who you ask.
The full coverage of Sotomayor's confirmation hearings are airing on Maryland Public Television station.
BEST WISHES FOR HER CONFIRMATION. HOW WONDERFUL TO HAVE HER.
