      Court Forces US to Divulge Gitmo Info

      (Newser) - A federal appeals court ruled yesterday that the US government must release information on Guantanamo Bay detainees fighting their imprisonment, the Times reports.

      Lawyer Blasts 'Astronaut Diaper' Report

      (Newser) - The most attention-getting detail to emerge from the astronaut love triangle story is also the "biggest lie," Lisa Nowak's lawyer said today.

      Scalia Joins Majority, but Not Happily

      (Newser) - The high court may have a new conservative majority, but it's not exactly a lovey-dovey one, judging from Antonin Scalia's withering concurring opinions on two recent decisions, the New York Times reports.  Although he voted with the majority, Scalia blasted Chief Justice John Roberts for downplaying the impact of the decisions. "This faux judicial restraint is judicial obfuscation," he snarked in one. More »

      Judge Catches Plaintiff With Pants Down

      (Newser) - "Satisfaction Guaranteed" applies only to reasonable demands, and $54 million for a pair of lost pants isn't reasonable, a judge ruled today in siding with the Washington, DC, dry cleaners sued by a disgruntled customer. Roy Pearson had originally asked for $65 million after a $10.50 alteration of a $1,000 suit went awry, the Washington Post reports. More »

      (Newser) - A man suing his dry cleaners for $54 million had to ask the judge for a break yesterday when he broke down crying as he testified about his loss—a pair of pants.
