the supremes

tonight's the night we get to find out who will scuplt our judicial future. I for one am a little scared. President cukoo bananas is likely to appoint a conservative nutbag that will have power for years to come, long after he leaves office and becomes commish of baseball. He has said his ideal justices are scalia and thomas, the cheech and chong of taking your rights away and making big business richer. I imagine he will appoint someone kind of like david cross's "git of my land" character on Mr. Show. Anyway, since I don't contribute much I thought I might try to stir up a little discussion, as the blogfather tries to do here every once in a while. Since the global economy thread hasn't excited the masses, yet the television quality discussion did, I want to split the middle. If you could nominate any character, from books, tv, or movies, to the Supreme Court of the United States, who would it be? My answer in the comments. Ta dow OUT

we'll see what happens with this guy. i do feel like it could have been a lot worse (i don't think he's totally fire and brimstone).

i'll contemplate the tv character/supreme question; endless possibilities.

ghostface, i'm surprised you didn't go with the compassionate conservative dad from your favorite show: 7th heaven.

can you imagine how infuriated scalia would be by the cosmic imagery and spiritual invocation that would litter and astra-penned judicial opinion.


i would love to see larry david berating "constructionalist" hot shots. and you know his head is in the right place; he's a spokesman for The Nation for god's sake.

i'd nominate tom joad, showing my communist tendencies. or maybe atticus finch, but he's a little too over the top --especially in the movie. or better yet, maybe scout. she'd make a good supreme court justice --a down to earth straight shooter.
