For instance, the legal scholar asks for a jury trial on all “friable” issues. And then there is the irony of an African American law professor not knowing how to spell the name of the President of the United States—who is a former Harvard Law professor; not to mention the mystery of Barack Obama being discussed at all in a defamation complaint against a law blog and its editor and publisher. For a hilarious (but typically obscene) send up of the Complaint, see this link for the unruly ivy league discussion board AutoAdmit post on the suit; you will laugh out loud. http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1127831&mc=88&forum_id=2&PHPSESSID=5954f3281e658cc0a23e2d7361e95724#13162062 What has astounded the legal Blogosphere is that a law professor would file a federal court complaint riddled with spelling and grammatical errors (he misspells the President’s name in the fist paragraph and goes downhill from there), let alone that the professor attempts to set forth a legal theory that the Supreme Court of his own home State of Florida refused to recognize just last year.
