LOL! Senator "Wide Stance" Larry Craig files motion for enlarged brief

[PA Democrat]

‘Motion for enlarged brief’ filed in Craig case
In Idaho Sen. Larry Craig’s continuing court fight to withdraw his guilty plea in an airport restroom-sex sting in Minnesota, a new motion has been filed today by the prosecution. It’s a “motion for enlarged brief,” which in this case means the respondents want to file a brief to the Minnesota Court of Appeals exceeding the current length limit of 15,500 words. The reasons listed in the motion include:


“1 – Respondent is unable to address all pertinent issues within the current length restraints. 2 - The variety of novel issues presented by Amici Curiae’s brief are outside of the scope of the Appellant’s principal arguments. 3 – Respondent’s counsel has made honest efforts to confine its brief within the limitations prescribed by the Minnesota Rules of Appellate Procedure, but is unable to do so while presenting the Court with the information necessary to make an informed decision.”

Although just filed and posted today, the “motion for enlarged brief” was dated Feb. 14th, Valentine’s Day.

1. Enlarged brief with plenty of room in the crotch area.

[DemzRock]

2. He needs enlarged briefs, you say?

Explains some things.

[DS1]

3. hey, the man needs his space, all right?

that's why his feet were crossing the stall zones

[Dr. Strange]

12. Apparently, it wasn't his feet.

[quip]

21. Maybe this is all a publicity stunt to audition for Tap? Think armadillos in our trousers...

[izquierdista]

4. Motion denied!

That's what got defendant in here in the first place!

[More Than A Feeling]

5. I didn't realize he was so into submission.

Submission of court documents, of course! Get your minds out of the gutter, pervs!:silly:

[quip]

6. Is that an enlarged brief you just filled, or are you just happy to see me?

[DainBramaged]

7. Enlarged beef?

[quip]

9. THERE'S the beef!

[Lasher]

8. This is way funny.

One thing I have learned the hard way is, sometimes it's best to just take your loss and move on. In those cases the harder you try to recover, the more things just get worse.

Guess our boy Larry hasn't learned that one yet.

[Mabus]

10. **cough, cough***

whew, caught my breath. :spray: :rofl:

[PA Democrat]

11. I know. Thom Hartmann mentioned this on his radio show today.

I was in my car at the time and almost ran off the road.

[Mabus]

13. I can't wait for the Reply or Rebuttal from the other side

You know someone is going to have file either a "Reply to Plaintiff's Motion for an Enlarged Brief" or a "Rebuttal to Plaintiff's Motion for an Enlarged Brief". Either way, one of the early statements will read something like: "Plaintiff's 'Motion for an Enlarged Brief', filed on or about the 14th day of February, 2008...."

[Lasher]

38. Motion of Enlarged Brief Meets Rebuttal?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

14. Jockey, Calvin Klein or Fruit Of The Loom???

[quip]

15. Will he seek counsel from Barbara Boxer?

:shrug:

[PA Democrat]

16. LOL! The jokes write themselves, don't they?

[quip]

19. The depends™

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

26. lol! I'm sure that he would rather seek counsel from Joe Boxer

[TomInTib]

17. "There's room in these briefs for both of us, Big Boy."

[DainBramaged]

22. Bob's Big Boy?

He's got the beef

[TomInTib]

25. That's exactly what I thought when I wrote that.

After I got out of the service, we lifted one of those from in front of the Big Boy on Memorial Drive in Houston. Had a crane mounted on a flat-bed.

[DainBramaged]

36. Larry had some REALLY BIG boys

and they wern't movable with a crane.

That's why I just had to share this one.

DU is a fun place today, isn't it?

[jhain]

35. SPEWWWWW

Yes, Quite fun!!

[0007]

30. Isn't there a statutes of limitations on how long this can linger on?

[Mabus]

32. It would have been filed sooner but it took a while to tap it out

on his typewriter. I think it sounded something like this: "tap..tap...tap...tappety-tap-tap...tap..tap.tap....tap...tappety-tap...tap.." I do understand that he types faster when he waves his wedding ring under the keyboard.

[Hekate]
