In a ruling for brain-dead, giant-chested former strippers and pin-up models everywhere, the Supreme Court struck a mighty blow in favor of Anna Nicole Smith on Monday.
The Court is usually divided, however, Anna Nicole brought them all together when they ruled that Smith could pursue part of her late husband’s oil fortune (estimated at $1.6 billion).
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, writing for the court, said Smith should have a fresh chance to pursue claims in federal court.
Smith has been fighting for years with Pierce Marshall, one of her late husband's sons, who has been engaged in a nasty battle with Smith over the family fortune.
The romance between Smith and J. Howard Marshall II was a classic tale of young stripper meets 89-year-old oil baron, who in turn, dies one year after marrying the buxom vixen.
An intense famiy fight for the money ensued, and stretched from Texas to California as Smith has been awarded as much as $474 million and as little as nothing.
The case now goes back to California where Pierce vows revenge and plans to ". . . continue to fight to uphold my father’s estate plan and clear my name,” Marshall said Monday.
Meanwhile, Anna Nicole will continue to fight for her money and her dignity. Or at least for the cash.

It's really too bad that Anna isn't smarter because she's not bad looking until she speaks.
As for the future of the legal system, it can survive almost anything and that includes a fierce money grab by an ex-Playboy Playmate as there have been far more embarrassing (sp?) episodes in the past.
