and onto the bright side of life, so to speak

i should mention somewhere that my sister and her team won the debate. it was about this guy who was under supervised release and he was questioning the constitutionality of this act that apparently allows for the collection of blood sample/dna from convicts like him. he argued that it was in violation of his rights under the fourth amendment of the US Constitution safeguarding the rights of persons against warrantless seizures and searches. my sister was on the techinically losing side - she was arguing for the constitutionality of the thing and i think that guy has won in some court by a slim margin of 6-5. as it is, the case is still under review, i guess.

plus she was going against this guy whom we shall not name -- and now that i have refused to name him, i'm guessing some of you already have an idea as to who he is. hehehe. anyway, you should've seen how nervous she was because she's really convinced that 1) they would lose and 2) she would suck in comparison to this guy, who was the lawyer for the other side.

anyway she bribed me with pizza on sunday, and i dropped by her place to help her draft her opening and closing speech since she was supposed to deliver it on monday.

guess what. she demolished him. bwahahhahahahaa. her prof said her closing speech was good and gave the debate to their side. PWNAGE! anyway, if you know my sister, you'd know how she's usually a nervous public speaker, so GUJAB KRISTA! \o\ /o/ \o/ ...
