Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

[gsh]

So, at the supreme court yesterday there was a case argued about the appeal of a convicted murderer. The man found guilty wanted to appeal due to ineffectual counsel. His attorney let the deadline pass without filing the paperwork.

I would think that the attorney blowing the deadline to file would sorta be one of the definitions of 'ineffectual counsel', but I'm obviously not Scalia.
