She filed bankruptcy. That threw it into federal court.

I agree. He was with her for some time before. He wanted to marry her and was not senile then. He wanted her to have the money. she was his WIFE. who are WE to say what was valuable to him in the last years of his life? It was HIS money.
I hope she gets all the money. Those greedy, ugly kids don't deserve anything if they can't even be generous with the woman who gave their father a little pleasure in his last years! Yeesh.

She should get that 80 million out of the estate for sure.

I'm surprised by some of the responses here. Whatever happened to the sanctity of marriage?

Permission to cross examine the witness.
To: Fintan
Their weighing in that she has the right to get the feds to do for her what the state courts wouldn't.
But then that may not have the points of your question.

"Are you suggesting Justice Ginsburg might try to hit on her? :P"
Hey, who knows, she does seem to have a thing for powerful, older men!!! :B
They will probably issue a Writ Of Habeas Corpus ( The words habeas corpus ad subjiciendum are Latin for "(That) you may have/hold the body to be subjected to (examination)" and if so , she wins the appeal...:P
LOL!

Granted as long as you ask her if they are real as your opening question?

I totally agree that she deserves the half of the estate that is afforded to a surviving spouse. She may be crude, we may not like her, we might not choose to marry her ourselves, but the old coot had a right to marry whatever woman he chose to marry and he chose her.

This is a technical jurisdiction case. Anna and her deceased hubby just make the facts interesting. There are two ways for a probate case to get into federal court, the bankruptcy clause as here and diversity of citizenship jurisdiction. Historically, the federal courts have declined to exercise jurisdiction over subjects regarded as peculiarly within the province of local courts, such as probate and divorce. But there's nothing in the Constitution or statutes that says that. It's purely a federal case law doctrine.
The practical issue is that federal judges don't want their courts flooded with these kinds of cases when their dockets are already full.
It'll be interesting to see how the originalists and textualists deal with this.

She was up pretty high on the scale for a while. But she recently discovered TrimSpa and is back to being slim. Or at least that's the story TrimSpa is paying her to tell.

The case was heard today by the SCOTUS.
Has anyone heard how the oral arguement went down?
