Texas Supreme Court Cites Mr. Spock
An anonymous reader writes "We always knew that Spock was wise and would probably make a pretty good judge, so perhaps it's a good thing to see the Texas Supreme Court citing Spock in a recent ruling, noting his wisdom in stating that 'the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.'"
"Damn it, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a Texas Supreme Court judge!"

All the neck-pinch does is put people to sleep. Courts are already effective enough at that.
Blank until
the judge lost his copy of John Stuart Mill?
But the judiciary has a rule: Even-numbered Star Trek movies have greater legal authority than odd-numbed ones.
Actually, it can kill as well. Please turn in your nerd badge at the door.

Seriously, "the needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few", sounds like socialism......AND in Texas yet. Rush LImbaugh better sound the alarm bells.

Actually, I think I got it from a Start Trek book. I have been looking unsuccessfully on the internet for a reference to it :(
So, it looks like at best I have a non-canon understanding and I should be the one turning in my nerd badge.
In my defense, I read dozens of Star Trek books in college instead of dating... certainly that should buy me another chance to join the club.
