lawyer physics (was taxing satellites)

[Dynamite Bob]

Get a load of this lawyer's physics: 

"The property in question here is geostationary,"
said Larry Hoenig, a San Francisco attorney
representing Hughes Electronics. "Geostationary
satellites sit above the equator in a fixed
position; they do not rotate around the Earth. So
the satellites we're talking about here are not
movable property."
