Picture me doing the dance of the scary wrinkly guy from the Six Flags commercials. (If you are not in a media market that features this commercial, there is a scary wrinkly guy. He dances.)

The Supreme Court upheld the right of Guantanamo Bay detainees to appeal in US Courts!

Okay, I thought better of it, but there was a moment there where I seriously broke out the caps lock, because whoo hoo!

NYTimes article is here, if you prefer.

Also, the case I got to see oral arguments for, Ashcroft v. ACLU, has been decided -- sort of. They sent COPA back to a lower court for a new trial. Still, good news for fans of porn and/or free speech.

Hey, are you around these days, or still tied up with your mom? I'd love to catch up, when you have some time...

(My life has taken a turn for the, ahem...interesting!)

Still tied up with mom, I'm afraid. She had her first chemo treatment yesterday, but there's 8 weeks to go and then another operation -- she still needs me every weekend, and the weeknights go to mindless de-stressing and errands.

*hugs* Sorry.

Understood. I hope things continue to go well for your mom, and definitely drop me a line when things start to ease up. Hmm. I'm going to send you an email sometime soon, about the above-mentioned interesting turn. ;-)
