This Week In The War On Women: Victory. Sweet, Sweet Victory.

June 29, 2016 by Kaili Joy Gray 2 Comments

We spend a lot — OK, most — of our time documenting the atrocities women endure in America, for the terrible and costly crime of being women. There’s a reason this column isn’t called “This Week In Happy Awesome Matriarchal Funtimes,” after all. And in case you’re wondering, yes, there are plenty of fresh new…

Which Game Of Thrones House Would Each SCOTUS Justice Belong To?

May 30, 2016 by C.A. Pinkham Leave a Comment

With seemingly all of America returning to Westeros to find out if R+L really does = J,1 we figured it was about time to find out what H = RBG. That’s right: it’s time to determine which Game of Thrones house each SCOTUS justice would belong to. Stephen Breyer — Tully — Do we even…

Hobby Lobby: Doing God’s Work For Swingers And Stoners

May 6, 2015 by Stefan BC Leave a Comment

Sane people across the country were righteously pissed when Justice Alito enthusiastically used Hobby Lobby v. Sebelius to toss a steaming turd of a majority opinion into the calm pool of free exercise precedent. That case saw the legal recognition of a corporation’s right to freely exercise sincerely held religious beliefs (such as Hobby Lobby’s…

Lawyers, Don’t Do This: SCOTUS Pile Of Words Edition

February 27, 2015 by Bitter Lawyer 4 Comments

Back in December, everyone was all a-twitter when SCOTUS threatened to sanction a lawyer, which basically never happens. It probably should happen more, but you know what a big softie Scalia can be. In the grand tradition of uninformative Supreme Court orders since the beginning of time, the order didn’t really make clear what it…

Bitter Brief 11: Sexism, Parenting, and Clarence Thomas Bobbleheads

July 14, 2011 by Bitter Brief 10 Comments

[powerpress] In this week’s installment of the Bitter Brief, our perennial punching bag, Mr. Law School, gives us networking “advice” with which we, naturally, take issue. We take umbrage at the sexist undertones of Law Firm 10’s latest musings on marriage and parenting and Matthew Richardson’s equating the declining value of mid-level associates with the declining hotness of women. And,…

Bitter News, Week of July 4th, 2011

July 8, 2011 by Bitter Newsroom Leave a Comment

Here are your headlines from the Bitter Newsroom, where we don’t leave our $100m ATM receipts lying around: The Supreme Court cut through the crap and stated, unequivocally, that video games are art and subject to full First Amendment protection.

Bitter News, 10-6-09

October 6, 2009 by Bitter Newsroom Leave a Comment

Headlines from the Bitter Newsroom that beg the question if you could care less—but we’ll table it: • Hate to perpetuate that whole “lawyers are good at poker” stereotype more, but it’s true—and we think you can do it.  Plus, in this economy, it’s better than being a hostess trying to pay off loans (more…

Bitter News, 9-10-09

September 10, 2009 by Bitter Newsroom 1 Comment

Headlines from the Bitter Newsroom as racist as selling skin whiteners to an Indian: • Hamline University law professor Robin Magee has been charged with 11 felony charges of state income-tax evasion, “including failure to pay taxes, failure to file tax returns and filing a false or fraudulent tax return, during the tax years 2004-2007.”…
