Blogger: Difficulty of Practicing Law Overrated
Practice pointer: Judges also like it when you call opposing counsel’s argument “dumb-ass.”
Who says the practice of law is hard? It took us about ten minutes to crank out a constitutional analysis of Rep. Cynthia McKinney’s immunity from arrest under Article I, Section 6. And we gave it to you for free. A law firm would have charged you several thousand bucks!
It’s Friday, as well as April Fool’s Day (observed). You didn’t think we’d let the day pass without a CNN headline post, did you?

Pour Out a Little Liquor for Cynthia McKinney
Some updates on Cynthia McKinneygate:
- Our friends on the Hill tell us that they have demanded that their bosses co-sponsor HR4968 (the “I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto Act”), but, unfortunately, it turns out that many Representatives don’t know who Tupac is. Once again, Democracy has failed us. (We still urge you to write your Congressman about it).
- According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “police have notified the federal prosecutor’s office in Washington that they will be seeking an arrest warrant after the investigation is complete next week.” Ohhhh shit.
- McKinney has cancelled today’s news conference.
- Out on bail, fresh outta jail, California dreamin’, Soon as Representative McKinney (D-GA) step on the scene she’s hearin’ hoochies screamin’
