Number of U.S. Jurisdictions with Lawfare License Plates Nears 4 Percent
That exciting fact comes to me thanks to Jacob Sternberger, who last year won the Lawfare competition to parody the New York Times editorial on the Al Aulaqi strike.

That exciting fact comes to me thanks to Jacob Sternberger, who last year won the Lawfare competition to parody the New York Times editorial on the Al Aulaqi strike. Sternberger, a senior at Dickinson College, writes: "our nation's capital is no longer the only jurisdiction with a LAWFARE license plate. Pennsylvania can now be added to that list. I got myself the license plate as an early graduation present before I head off to Law School in the Fall and learn how to wage lawfare."
Let Jacob be a model to you all.
There are still, to my knowledge, 49 states with no LAWFARE license plate. Some states, of course, don't allow seven letters on a vanity plate, so some of you might have to abbreviate (Preferred abbreviation: LAWFRE, I think). If you get 'em, I'll post 'em.
ARITHMETIC UPDATE: As an alert reader points out, I really shouldn't be doing posts late at night that require math. Two out of 51 is less than four percent; it doesn't exceed it. I've fixed the headline of this post accordingly.
