I have an idea for a new rule that will eliminate the anti-gay bias in federal procedure: "There shall be one form of action known as 'civil action.'"

I'm with Cold Warrior--my work filter will definitely NOT like the VC now.

Eugene, you're trying to get the Conspiracy on the banned list here, aren't you?

If you really wanted to drive up traffic, you would have to misspell several words and add in exclamation points. Try, "Hott Lezbien Action Pics" or the like.

Is there anything you guys won't do to get the traffic numbers up? (Because I've got some requests if not.)

Understandably.

I owe you an email... will get around to that, eventually.

Hmmm, I actually read the Happy Birthday post first and was surprised that the link here took me right back. I wonder what that says about me and my priorities??? I expected this to link to some sort of lesbian child custody legal "action."

Hmm. This is funny.

I have to wonder if someone of Polish ethnicity could bring an "action" against R. Lee Ermey for using the epithet "pole-smokers"?

Or, how about anyone with the given name of "Richard" bringing an action for the ubiquitous derogation of the diminutive?

Let's see where this goes. The libs love to bring frivolous lawsuits, and this seems to be a "back-atcha".

JMHO.

Heh.

A.S.:
(If you're a non-lawyer, see definition 14 for the relevant definition of "action.")

OK. The relevant definition is:

14. Law A judicial proceeding whose purpose is to obtain relief at the hands of a court.


Yeah, I can see Lesbian-on-Lesbian Action bringing the litigants "relief" - that is the purpose of "action", after all. But if you adding a "court", using its "hands", into the picture, you really are getting kinky.

Those who have seen Chasing Amy may be recalling a certain two-handed gesture at this point.

Professor Volokh,

I learned a lot about criminal law, language, critical analysis and law school in your class. I thought you were engaging and challenging. But I now realize that my fondness for you also springs from a metaphysical bond we share: distrust of exclamation points.

gwinje: Thanks for the kind words! Note that's just one exclamation point, and called for by circumstances.
