Movie Quote in Court Opinion

A Bankruptcy court, two weeks ago, denied a Defendant's motion for "Incomprehensibility."

The Defendant's motion was titled: "Defendant's Motion to Discharge Response to Plaintiff's Response to Defendant's Response Opposing Objection to Discharge."

In an eight sentence opinion, the court denied the motion stating "the court cannot determine the substance, if any, of the Defendant's legal argument, nor can the court even ascertain the relief the Defendant is requesting."

Best of all, the court quoted, in a footnote, the movie "Billy Madison:"


"Mr. Madison, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response was there anything that could even be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul."
