Matt Santos (Texas) and Arnold Vinick (California) left careers in politics to become civil procedure professors. After the subject of whether the International Shoe framework was untenable in the internet era came up at a federalist society conference in Vermont, the two came to blows. The next day, on twitter, Vinick said "Matt Santos is a real SOB who has no business teaching civil procedure at any institution of higher learning, not even at Wake Forest. He attacked me without warning and his new domicile should be prison." The tweet has no advertisements, and none of Vinick's eight twitter followers live in Texas, although the post was later retweeted and became a trending topic on twitter. Santos's Texas-based federalist society friends began ridiculing him to his face. Other federalist society members gasp when he walks by and say things like, "Vinick was right, he is a real son of a Brennan." The complaints about him get so bad that the Texas legislature passes a unanimous bill officially cancelling him. Enraged, Santos sues Vinick in Texas state court. True or false, the court has personal jurisdiction.
