...someone gets into foul trouble or we have an injury, we are so deep in our shooters and in our front court that we should be able to survive that," Delaney-Smith said. "I can't imagine another team having as many options in the center position, for example. Melissa can play agressively, Sarah can play agressively, Kate Ides can play agressively, Laela can play agressively because if there is some bad officiating or anything like that, someone is going to step up and take over...
First Larry Flynt, and now this. On Wednesday the Supreme Court will attempt to strip down its complicated message on the legality of outlawing nude bars. It's an issue the court has tackled before, but without much decisiveness: A convoluted 1991 ruling, which included four separate majority opinions, upheld the constitutionality of such laws. Before the court now, however, is a 1998 Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling in favor of Erie, Pa.'s Kandy's Dinner Theater, which challenged a local public indecency ordinance and bills itself as the "First Amendment Rights Headquarters." The state court sided with the dissenting...
...case highlights a growing criticism of the Supreme Court of the past 25 years - that modern justices' proclivity for delivering splintered decisions muddies the rule of law.

"Every court is uncomfortable when it has to deal with sexual expression as a First Amendment interest, against the societal interest in maintaining moral order," says Sanders. He also notes the difficulty in predicting how the court will fall on the issue, since it comes down to the moral views of each member. Clarence Thomas may want...
...crumbled under the petty slights and jealousies of high school, prison won't be a walk in the park. But, of course, that may be just the point. Today, an Oregon Circuit Court judge handed Kip Kinkel a 111-year prison term; because of his status as a minor, he was not eligible for the death penalty. The Springfield teenager, now 17, was convicted on four counts of murder and 26 counts of attempted murder after spraying his high school cafeteria with gunfire 16 months ago. Kinkel also shot and killed his parents, a grisly twist in the familiar repertoire...
