Wow... It is so nice to see they've added <em>Alice</em> to their canon.

Frankly, I have to give props to the lawyer - it was a nice bit of work. The argument still fails logically and legally in my opinion, but as a bit of writing, it's effective. Sometimes, that's just the sort of thing you need to draw the judge's attention... these briefs get dull sometime, and a bit of color could win you favor - and lord, but judges love slipping that stuff into their rulings! Just saying... back to law school with me. Hope all's well, and good luck in your new ventures.
