Anna Nicole Smith Appears At SCOTUS
How does a stupid probate case like this get accepted for review at the Supreme Court?
Simple: Eight of the Justices are men and it makes for a nice diversion from the Court's current ho-hum docket.
About two dozen photographers scrambled to snap pictures of Smith and her attorney as they arrived at a side door of the court building. Several photographers were knocked to the ground in their zeal to get a picture of Smith, dressed in a knee-length dress, high heels and black sunglasses.Umm...yeah, right. And I'm sure there'll be plenty of snickers all around when the bailiff says "all rise"."Most people will do a double take," said Edward Morrison, a former Supreme Court clerk who specializes in bankruptcy law at Columbia University. "It raises the novelty level and makes a technical issue somewhat more entertaining."
Douglas Baird, a bankruptcy expert at the University of Chicago, said: "I'd suspect some justices haven't the slightest idea who Anna Nicole is."
