Very early morning (at least in the CDT.)

This post is another update regarding the goings-on in the Texas case of Nikki Araguz, the trans widow of firefighter Thomas Araguz.  Her marriage and identity are under attack by her deceased husband's ex-wife (purportedly representing the interests of the children of Thomas and the ex.)

Even if you're not otherwise following the case - or even if you from some reason are disinclined to sympathize with Nikki - you should, at some point in the next few minutes, be picking your jaw up off of the floor.  Legal arguments don't get much more twisted than the one that the lawyers representing the ex-wife of Nikki's late husband pulled out today.

In fact, its too twisted to display above the flip.
