Bear vs. Locks: A person or party may be afforded the right to trespass within private property, and while in said private property, the trespasser's legal obligation to duty of care is waived under the condition that said trespasser is reasonably able to provide manual labor as full compensation for negligent injuries or property damages in which the trespasser is directly or indirectly at fault.

In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court ruled 1-0 that young muppet girls may come into other muppet bears homes uninvited and sit on and break furniture, provided that they have the glue to fix them. The other 8 justices excused themselves from the ruling due to a conflict of interest.

This was a bad ruling! Goldilocks should have been arrested for trespassing and criminal mischief. But she gets a free pass just for helping fix what she broke? Sotomayor should have called Sesame street's finest to haul her away.

I think the Count von Count should have been the judge on this case. He'd enjoy counting up how many months in jail; Goldilocks would serve.

Makes me have so much more respect for Justice Sotomayor..

People grow up! This was to teach little kids to compromise. You have to understand little children don't make money. The decision of the judge was to make these little two get along at the end. It's just a chair! And kids don't have income!

Well, technically she wasn't "breaking" in, because the door to the Bears' house was unlocked. However, she was definitely trespassing. Of course, Goldilocks could countersue by claiming that she was "injured" when she fell thru Baby Bear's chair...hmmm...perhaps Justice Sotomayor was trying to encourage both sides to resolve the matter peacefully instead of going thru a lengthy and costly legal battle! : )

This clip wasn't meant to teach kids about the law, but about how to settle disputes.

Remember, Clarence Thomas is an African-American. Fortunately, most African-Americans are smart enough to know better than to support right-wingers.

Thank God she did. And kudos to Chief Justice Roberts for the courage he showed in breaking with his right-wing fraternity brothers in upholding common-sense health care reform.
