    Default Anna Nicole Smith gets White House boost

    ...stant, any thoughts on this? Odd to think a stripper relationship would end up in the supreme court.

    WASHINGTON (AP) -- Playboy playmate Anna Nicole Smith has an unusual bedfellow in the Supreme Court fight over her late husband's fortune: the Bush administration.

    The court will decide early next year whether to let the U.S. solicitor general share time with Smith's attorney during the one hour argument on February 28.
    A federal bankruptcy judge sided with Smith in the fight over her late husband's estate, awarding her $474 million. That was reduced to about $89 million by a federal district judge, then thrown out altogether by a federal appeals court.

    The issue before the high court is one only lawyers would love: when may federal courts hear claims that involve state probate proceedings. Smith lost in Texas state courts, which found that E. Pierce Marshall was the sole heir to his father's estate.

    The Bush administration's filings in the case are technical. Without getting into the details of the family squabble, Solicitor General Paul Clement said that the justices should protect federal court jurisdiction in disputes.

    I know you're asking dancers, WG, but this seems more suited for the Lounge, so I moved it from Customer Conversation.

    This case is of interest to the White House only because it involves federal vrs state control. This case will set the precedence for future court cases.

    I am sure they wouldn't give a fly hoot about Anna Nicole if it were about federal power.
