When can federal bankruptcy judges rule on state probate matters?
In Marshall vs Marshall, the Supreme Court will consider this rather unsexy, technical issue during its next session.
Justice Clarence "Long Dong Silver" has been waiting for this day.

“I wasn’t unhappy at all until just everybody just started ridiculing me so bad. I just got to the point that it was just like, 'My God, you know. Just shut up, everybody. What is the big deal?’ And then I just looked in the mirror. I’m like, 'I am fat!'”
I guess I shouldn't have gotten my expectations up for something more along the lines of, "I was worried about the risk of diabetes and coronary disease that's associated with my increased weight..."

Mischief, cool links, but you may have undersold the va-voom factor with your remarkably restrained FPP. Not even a bad pun, about how the odds are stacked against her.

My uncle had problems with his probate, and he had to take those huge pills...

Might I mention that the last link in this deceptively titled FPP needs to come with a big, red, "NSFW" tag all over it?

Any Supreme Court junkies out there who can explain why, out of the thousands of cert petitions filed yearly, this one was granted? I am stumped, personally.

Because the case tests whether the "probate exception" to federal court jurisdiction bars those courts entirely from deciding estate-settlement cases, usually reserved for state courts. The Court last ruled on that exception in 1946, and it's a question of federal court jurisdiction that Circuit Judge Richard Posner has called "one of the most mysterious and esoteric branches of the law of federal jurisdiction." It's still an open question, and the resolution could potentially have an impact on thousands of probate cases.

FAVORITE CENTURY, AND WHY: [NSFW cite]
19th Century, when women wore hoop skirts and men were men.
I wonder if anyone explained to her that her husband was born 5 years too late to meet this criterion.</snark>

I can't believe they shorted her entirely. I'd certainly assume her motivation was money but when you have that kind of scratch and are 89 I expect you'd happily hand over some portion of it to get a hot twenty-year-old to fondle your wrinkled old pecker.
