Is there another saying, "Hoisted by his own petard"? I seem to remember that phrase in high school in a history or English class or sumthin'.

"The Court also ruled that the First Amendment didn't apply because Grove City could evade Title IX by forbidding its students to receive federal financial aid."

Yup.

Merriam-Webster Petard:
Middle French, from peter to break wind, from pet expulsion of intestinal gas, from Latin peditum, from neuter of peditus, past participle of pedere to break wind; akin to Greek bdein to break wind.

Therefore, Strangled by your own crap!
