Blogger Successfully Quashes Subpoena

Posted by kdawson on from the oh-and-here's-your-head dept.

Ares writes "In a follow-up to Blogger Subpoenaed for Criticizing Trial Lawyers, Katherine Seidel's blog indicates that not only has she successfully quashed her subpoena, but the lawyer issuing said subpoena is now under orders to appear and explain why the courts shouldn't sanction him for it. This should be interesting, because in addition to Ms. Seidel's subpoena in New Hampshire, the lawyer issued a similar subpoena to a doctor and a Harvard professor under similar circumstances."

    Why certainly they are are important! I can't imagine what else I'd feed my pet alligators if the supply of lawyers ran out!

    I'm calling PETA and the *SPCA on you! If you hate your 'gators so much, why not just put them to sleep instead of torturing them?

    Chimps will take whatever they think they can get away with, and never actively teach and often try to hide things from each other.

    Like the RIAA, you mean?

    Overlord is a word more complicated than its components. The proper female equivalent of overlord is "wife". The collective is "overload".
    Hence you can have the somewhat fractious phrase "I have an overload of wives" which simply says you have several female overlords and should, in no way, result in you sleeping on the couch for a week.
