what makes a "bill" something he can't have emailed to him and signed where he is? obviously something, because Bush had guys flying them around, but can't there be separate signature pages?

adder, I'm sorry for the late notice, but we'll need you to stay home tonight and research this.

No problem. I mean, it's not like he had plans.

I expect an answer! This was an actual question.

I didn't read it, but here's a long office of legal counsel opinion on having someone else sign on the prez's behalf. A quick scan suggests it doesn't directly answer your question though.

I'm fairly sure you wouldn't a GP at your firm something this full of holes. How much time before you can get us an answer?

You don't insist on a classic retainer? You're a generous soul.

I'm disappointed. I thought someone had already made a video game out of them. Or at least made one of those movies where you can have cartoony characters say your text.

it's starting to seem probable that I'll be nominated to the Supreme Court by President Obama, as I am pro-choice but otherwise have solid American beliefs, but, reading this decision, it is clear to me that I will have problems writing things like, "In X we held"... when X was decided in 1968 and today's "we" includes none of that "we". I may turn down the nomination, if it comes.

or, alternatively, I may only accept if Ty is given a seat too, so I have a dull foil to attack in my decisions. We will see how it plays out.
