About the article on the misspelled ad I couldn’t help but notice that the last name of the lawyer was spelled with and without an embedded space. I hope he isn’t so humiliated that he files a second misspelling suit against the reporter.

I know firsthand that Yellowbook sends a copy and requires someone to sign off on the ad before they publish it. The true culprit here is on the lawyer’s staff or even him

Why do I even question how the police get away with this?
“No search warrant needed: armed deputies in Orlando storm unlicensed barbershops, handcuff barbers ”
“I, D, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…” So these are domestic enemies, right?

Describing the arbitration requirement imposed by a huge cell phone company as “freedom of contract” is disingenuous. There is no negotiation between the contracting parties and there are no competing companies offering similar services without mandatory arbitration. De facto, without laws protecting consumers’ access to the courts, companies can all but exempt themselves from responsability for their actions toward their customers.
