[Lgpolicy-list] [lg policy] Can you touch a fish? A fisherman says you can’t.

[Baron, Dennis E]

There's a new post on the Web of Language:


Can you touch a fish? A fisherman says you can’t.

Can you touch a fish? One fisherman says that you can’t. John Yates, the ex-captain of a fishing boat, was convicted under a law that makes it illegal to destroy records, documents, or tangible objects in order to impede a federal investigation, and he’s asking the United States Supreme Court to reverse that conviction because fish aren’t “tangible objects.” He ought to know; he catches them for a living.
