I?m a proponent of letting lawyers likewise play theme song snippets in court as they approach the podium. Perhaps newly confirmed Fifth Circuit Judge Edward C. Prado will see to it that a proper sound system allowing that to happen will be installed in New Orleans.

And this:
(a guy from my club think like i lok like a guy from system of a down, but i don't see it.)
