Not that I remember, but link me if you'd like.

Let me know your thoughts on the NYT article on college kids drinking, or the Drudge report, when you get a chance.

And BTW, I think what Lynn Stewart did was wrong, but I'd not call her stupid. She is clearly a very savvy attorney and deliberately did this to test Ashcroft's new rules.

A smirk is not an "appearance" thing as, for example, a harelip would would be; it's a facial expression thing evidencing a state of mind. It is not a physical defect and is a perfectly legitimate thing to note with disapprobation.

It would, for example, be improper imo to criticize someone because they were unfortunate enough to have eyes that were slightly crossed; but it would be perfectly proper to note critically that they rolled their eyes expressively at inappropriate moments.

From what I've read, I think the woman should be disbarred.
