Ranking right up there with news items like "Dog Bites Man" or "Dr. Phil Says Britney Spears Needs a Shrink" is this gem from the Palmetto State.
The South Carolina Court of Appeals has determined that it is indeed contempt of court to endorse a court order with the phrase "Kiss my ass."
Judith Law will now have to serve 90 days in jail for endorsing her probation revocation order with a suggestion that Judge Diane Goodstein osculate upon Law's buttocks.
South Carolina now joins the United States District Court in Georgia in holding that telling trial court judges to "Kiss my ass" is a singularly counter-productive persuasion technique.
Of course, if Ms. Law had the right attorney, he could probably have found a slightly more subtle way of getting that message across.
