A lot of times when a group of people want to sue someone, they have to come up with an organization so they can establish standing. So they just make something up. I was reading a case today brought by a group of people called "The Association of Irritated Residents." It doesn't really matter what you call the organization, it is just a legal construct. I think it would be fun to make up organizations for the sole purpose of having their names appear in court documents. "The Association of People Who Think Scalia is Kind of a Dick Sometimes." Imagine getting to argue in front of the supreme court with a name like that! Ginsberg might vote to grant cert on that basis alone.
I'm participating in another art show in a few weeks. This one is at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria VA, from Oct. 31, to Nov. 3. If you are in town, maybe you could go? Don't fret, there are no real torpedos there anymore. I am told it is reasonably safe. More info at Art Outlet (http://artoutlet.org/news/events/ofrenda-art-for-the-dead). |
