A Hillsboro, Ore., man who ditched jury duty after lunch because he was “extremely bored” was due back in court Tuesday to be arraigned on a charge of contempt of court. A police report says officers found 25-year-old Grant Faber near his home earlier this month and asked why he skipped out. He said he was bored, and “just couldn’t take it” anymore. This raises jury duty from simply being a minor inconvenience to mind-numbingly boring ditch-worthy event.

The SCOTUS short list isn’t the only legal short list out there. Esquire recently assembled its own short list of 5 worst lawyer advertisements of all time. Why would anyone call themselves the California Switchblade or talk about severed heads? Sigh. Lawyers can be complete idiots. Check out the videos here. As bad as these commercials are though, I don’t know if it tops The Nahon Law Firm’s advertisement (or, at least the song at the end). And this also raises one other serious question. How many lawyers use “The Hammer” as their moniker in P.I. law? Of course, in this day and age of hip hop and rap, the prudent attorney-at-law must evolve their business to keep up with the times. And what better way of doing so than combining horribly cheesy CG black guys rapping about a car accident. 

And the final bit of news on the day – Justice David Souter to be replaced by Jesus Christ. Despite what was thought to be overwhelming support, some politicians seem to still have issue with the pick. In a related story, the man who probably thinks of himself on the same level as Jesus, Rush Limbaugh resigns from his position as ‘titular head of the Republican Party in a confusing bluster. Nobody cares.
