Ending the Protectionist Racket

Filed under:   by Xrlq @ 7:37 pm

Arizona is considering amending its rules to allow lawyers from other states to be admitted on motion. It’s about time. Shorter con argument: California, Nevada and New Mexico want to jump off a bridge, so dammit, we should, too!

And no, I don’t have a dog in this fight. I don’t see myself moving to Arizona anytime soon (though I can certainly think of worse places to live), and even if I did, I wouldn’t need the new rule since I’m admitted there already, the old-fashioned way.

    Bummer. Arizona is my wife’s first choice should we move and now I have one fewer argument against it. Oh well, there’s still the scorpions and rattlesnakes.

    I dunno, dude. I can think of worse places to live than Arizona. Like, say, Illinois?

    I’m giving a literal as well as figurative weight to “greener pastures”.

  4. Xrlq Says:

    Ah. If you want to live where it rains even more than Illinois, the pickin’s are slim. Figuratively greener pastures abound, though.

    Dude. I never noticed it raining more than a reasonable usual in Illinois, but gee, lucky me, I guess I got the slim pickin’s and all that goes with it: rain but not snow, dismal chill but no real hard freeze that kills the disgusting germs that seem to abound in this pretty-but-sickening state. :P

    I am pretty damn stale on Oregon at this point.
