Judge pants suit tossed

I'm not sure this has come to a surprise to anyone, but the suit where the judge attempted to take his cleaner to the cleaners got flushed away today: Judge tosses $54 million suit over missing pants. I wonder whether this or Paris Hilton being released from jail will make for bigger news.

And a victory to the anti-drug war with the 6-3 reversal of the so-called 'Bong Hits 4 Jesus' case: 'Bong Hits 4 Jesus' case limits student rights. The full opinion can be found here. Bottom line (from reading the syllabus): Advertising or promoting illicit drug use in schools is beyond First Amendment protections. Doesn't seem too surprising. Neither does Thomas's concurrence that implicitly forgets about stare decisis.
