Is this in anticipation, or to preempt the move by Bader-Ginsburg?

What's next? Who will be the lucky one to be allowed to marry the river? Will a polygamous relationship with the river be allowed based on Maori traditions?

while you're on topic let's wish her a very happy 84th birthday and hope she gets to enjoy her retirement.

Coralsnake's link has several more examples of similar stories.

I think you meant to say that the link I posted had more examples of stories where a misplaced comma cost big bucks vs. coralsanke's link that just had the current Maine story (which could still be appealed).

Shocking story. Never underestimate strep!

Interesting side note is his occupation listed towards the end of the article. I wonder if he has disability waiver of premium on his own life insurance policies, and whether he has disability and long-term-care coverage.
