Comments (0) Best Reference to the Three Little Pigs in a Legal Ruling - 2002
U.S. District Judge John Kane
Senior U.S. District Judge John Kane is erudite, wise (he's taken a controversial, and eminently reasonable, stance opposing the War on Drugs) and witty. In a recent bankruptcy ruling, he noted that the appellant "presents a version of the three little pigs who outsmarted the big bad wolf, and despite all his huffing and puffing kept a house and sold it for a profit." The judgment concluded:
Alas the tale is done
Truth be told, no one won
This court has simply tried to resort
That which is to what was before
(The defendant) paid the price
For what the deeds of trust thrice
Deviously sought to take away
And such is the fate of claims made of hay.
