I know there are legal reason why the Bush Administration is helping Anna Nicole Smith. However, does any think the Solicitor General guy is hoping to get laid?
Jonathan Turley said it involved the bankruptcy law, so there is a real reason for the Bushies to get involved. But it does make you want to laugh. If this had happened in the Clinton Administration...:yoiks:
The issue before the high court is one only lawyers would love: when may federal courts hear claims that involve state probate proceedings. Smith lost in Texas state courts, which found that E. Pierce Marshall was the sole heir to his father's estate.
The Bush administration's filings in the case are technical. Without getting into the details of the family squabble, Solicitor General Paul Clement said that the justices should protect federal court jurisdiction in disputes.
