My brother tipped me off to the Smoking Gun entry highlighting a Texas court judgment where the judge, while discussing the defendant in a bankruptcy motion, footnotes the Adam Sandler movie Billy Madison. Specifically, he quotes the part where the judge lambastes Billy for his "rambling incoherent response" and says that "everyone in the room is now dumber" for having listened to him. Needless to say, the defendant's motion was denied.

Long-time Hilary watchers will know that I heart Sandler so much that I once spent valuable hours photoshopping myself into pictures with him. This judge is my new hero.
