Now that Souter is retiring? Naturally, a woman. Preferably, a minority. Obviously, not a Catholic. Hmmmmmm.
Allah Pundit archly suggests on Twitter that Michelle Obama might fit the bill. Then, she would have that salary that she craves. But isn’t this thinking rather limited? Why are there no trannies on the Supreme Court? Haven’t American Siamese twins been historically under-represented? Who’s your ideal candidate?
Why can’t He appoint Himself? Surely such as The One can do two jobs at once.
Perez Hilton. For the transcendent judgement.
I am sure K-Lo is crooning “Ponnrrrrrrrruuuuuuu!”
Joe “The Bill of Rights IS a suicide pact” Biden.
RuPaul, bitches. You better work.
Ward Churchill is tan, rested, ready.
Bill Ayers is available too.
Alex “Bitch Tits” Rodriquez is available if Obama can buy out his current contract with the Yankees.
I hereby pledge my support, and that of my 13 residents, to the Supreme Court candidacy of Oprah Winfrey.
[…] Protein Wisdom, channeling Allahpundit on Twitter, wickedly suggests Michelle Obama. Hear, hear! […]
John Edwards isn’t doing a whole lot these days.
Just heard some über-PC subgenius on NPR say that “probably the next four or five” USSC nominees should be women. No reason given; no mention of the outlandish, extremist, and probably illegal idea that maybe we ought to give competence, juridical record, and understanding of the Constitution a wee mite of consideration. But then, the Barrackorrhoids wouldn’t consider that last a good thing anyway.
Since you don’t actually need to be an attorney to serve on the supreme Court disbarment is no significant impediment.
There’s a bookend to the Specter saga.
The White House will create a special “Judicial Committee” that will allow President Obama to weigh in on all Supreme Court rulings…in omnipotent style. All confirming opinions will be written, under the new Six-pack Doctrine, by the sitting Judge with the best abs. However, judges are barred from participating if they have over 20% body fat…at which point, the new White House “Judicial Committee” will be obligated to write the opinion…
You can look it up.
The Worm
Janeane Garofalo. She just KNOWS shit.
In the spirit of International jurispridence, which is all the rage with our current leaders, (also to cheer up happyfeet), I was going to suggest George Soros, but since he is more of a behind the scenes string pulling kind of guy, I thought maybe Kofi Annan could spare the time.
Camille Paglia. I guarantee that would prove entertaining.
Helen Thomas.
Then she and her idiot socialist soul-sister Ginsburg can both fall asleep during testimony.
I would’ve bet Hillary. I might still.
Perez Hilton is a cunt.
I nominate Monica Conyers.
O/t; it’s on local news but the White House threatened one of the Chrysler bond holders (who didn’t go along with the dealo yesterday) – said they would face the hostility of the entire White House Press Corp. I heard the lawyer make the accusation. The Executive branch apparently has the power to sic the press corp?

No, not the politician. The “psychic”.
His jurisprudence will be as valid and Constitutionally-based as any other liberal justice.

Serr8d suggested:
Way too out-of-control for Mr Obama. He likes her where she is now: a position in which he can give her orders, and fire her when he feels like it. :)
Bill Clinton would bring an entirely new sense of decorum to the Supreme Court. Make it part of the 24/7 world of the news media, a ratings booster. Win, win.
Biden is a Constitutional Law professor (who doesn’t know the difference between Articles I and II based on his performance in the Veep Debate) so he’s automagically qualified, right? Obama could promote him to the Supreme Court, then would get to name a new Veep out of the deal. While awaiting confirmation of the replacement, Stretch Pelosi would be the proverbial heartbeat away.
I think I’m going to be sick now.
And those robes can cover up so much, geoff.

I hope I got that right, because I don’t know how to cut and paste on this stupid computer. I copied the whole thing.
Yeah, but it’d be an old-style, apparently extinct Klingon. Unless that hair’s hiding a hella bumpy forehead.
Cool thanks. I am at work too and will have to wait till I get home to que up the audio.

“One of my clients was directly threatened by the White House, in essence compelled to withdraw its opposition to the deal under threat that the full force of the White House press corps would destroy its reputation if it continued to fight.”

Raul Castro. After the sex-change and melanin injections.
The One is hip enough – why not bring a new approach to all this stale politics and appoint Jay-Z?
I would support Camile Paglia. We need a lesbian non lawyer Justice. If lawyer was important we could go with Hillary.
What kind of judges will Obama appoint? Easy: ones who will sanction the Congress’ up-and-coming “Hate Crimes” legislation.
Sunset has been looming over Affirmative Action for the last decade, and insofar as the Prog mvmt is reliant on governmental reinforcements of archaic racial divides for its power, the sun was setting on them, too.
Quiet choices about whom we choose to associate with are made by free Americans every day. And, if, say, a fringe of shaved Irish-Americans demonstrated a propensity to let off bombs (or, destroy property) for “the Irish,” then you’d see self-identifying Irish people as a group suffer, as business owners (who tend to own property and don’t want to see it destroyed) will naturally back away from hiring Irish. This mechanism, the discriminatory, “weeding-out” interview process that we all perform in our daily lives, engages citizens’ faculties of discernment, and serves as a crucial anti-coagulate in our pluralistic, ‘melting pot” society.
Which makes it detrimental to insurgent movements that rely on amalgamated masses to force political concessions from the citizenry: citizens’ free discernment ensures that a terrorist in Detroit or Philly can not seek cover in this or that group “identity” openly without exposing members of “his” group to the quiet, organic exclusionary response of discerning, everyday Americans. And this essential bulwark, freedom of association, coupled with the right to “bear arms” are codified guarantees that are essential to a freeman’s repelling of tyrannical government and a foreign invasion.
That’s where the Soop’s come in. “Hate Crimes” resurrection in Obama’s Congress indicate that the Progressives intend to use “hate” accusations to effectively neutralize the citizens’ freedom of discernment and association. And if HC’s become national law it will reverse the stakes in the court: If my read of DC’s current renters is correct, expect an immediate ramping up of EEOC claims in highly visible courtrooms (complete with wall-to-wall coverage in friendly media), and an engorging of the government’s lucrative “anti-discrimination” legal apparatuses.
Obama needs a pliant court if he’s gonna ratchet this shake-down on to its next stage, and, in the end, more and more of America’s productive economy will grow underground.
America is gonna go all semifossorial on the One.
Ya know, maybe we should limit our ideas to people with experience on the bench. To that end, I suggest Harry Anderson.
I’m imagining Bill interviewing prospective clerks.
“Now, honey, the next skill we’re going to check is how well you can bang my gavel, followed by the ‘oral arguments’ section of the test.”
If you’re going to go the nepotism route, to keep it in the family, remember there is no age restriction or even citizenship restriction in the Constitution to the appointment of SCJ. Obama has a huge number of relatives to choose from.

How comes it, in light of Dan’s headline, that Mary Wilson hasn’t been offered up? She was, after all, the only Supreme there from start to finish.
Michelle was making 350K a year at the Univ of Chicago…a better deal than the Supremes.
Dana is on LIMERICK FIRE, BAYBEE!

I posted this on LGF in response to your link:
Here’s a partial transcript of Tom Lauria’s remarks on the Frank Beckmann radio show. Lauria is bankruptcy attorney at White & Case, and is representing a group of investers who are refusing to go along with Obama’s bankruptcy plan for Chrysler.
Tom Lauria [1:34]:
Let me just that it is no fun standing on this side of the fence opposing the president of the United States. In fact, let me just say, you know, people have asked me who I represent. And that’s a moving target. I can tell you for sure that I represent one less investor today that I represented yesterday. One of my clients was directly threatened by the White House and in essence compelled to withdraw its opposition to the deal under threat that the full force of the White House press corps would destroy its reputation if it continued to fight. That’s how hard it is to stand on this side of the fence.
Beckmann [2:20]
Was that Perella Weinberg?
Tom Lauria [2:24]:
That was Perella Weinberg. …

#60 – I rather enjoyed that one. Thanks.
So, what is Janet Reno doing these days?

Maybe I am slow or something but how is that not a HUGE deal? The freakin President is threatening the reputations of private citizens who do not kowtow to his demands. Threatening to “sick” the press corp, a supposedly impartial and unbiased body, on them. WTF over? What if Bush did this to anti-war groups that kept protesting? This is sick.
I think this attorney is just talking smack.
Really? Shocking.

Yeah I am sure he is just making the whole thing up. It is not like the President demonized AIG or Wall Street execs or anything……..
Someone dead, Corpse-Americans (Necro-Americans would sound racist) are grossly underrepresented. Just think how quick the hearings would be!
Carin may wish to weigh in since Wilson is a Motown Supreme.
never happen, but i think i’d like the tv judge glenda hatchett. she’s a woman, and black, and she’s pretty tough and conservative on most issues. also, she’s not ugly.
and i’d be mostly happy with ted nugent too. he’d fiercely protect the 2nd amendment, and he could play some wicked solos and pass out yummy deer jerky during any lulls. might liven the place up a little.
not gonna happen. but a girl can dream…
Is Mills Lane still alive?
I’m thinking Will-I-AM from the black eyed peas since he wrote that amazing obama chant. Or maybe Chuck D from public enemy, because no way is he picking flavor-flav. Although court sessions would always start on time with all of those clocks around his neck.

Oh, wait, that was just so wrong. I denounce myself.

How their vote will go
And their ‘pinions is already wrote.
It needs to be a midget of any color except the bad one. Everyone knows which one the unacceptable color is.
Why does it have to be an American? Since some members of the court think we ought to care more for international opinion, I nominate: Kim Jong Il.
How can you beat a guy who shoots an 18 at golf? Even Biden couldn’t out-do Kim.
I hear Angela Davis isn’t busy right now.
I have to agree with MarkD. You people are all so jingoistic and xenophobic. Fuck that. We don’t need an American on that court. We need an earthling!
Obama is going to disband the Judicial Branch and merge the functions into the Executive Branch because Obama doesn’t want Robert Mugabe laughing at him and calling him a lightweight.
PLEASE!

Too bad William Kunsler is dead. How about Ramsay Clark?
How about Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman, the blind sheik in Supermax. (he fits the image of the statue with the blindfold) Besides we can get Sharia law without the raggies nuking a few cities. Make the Gitmo gangstas officers of the court.

I am still living with your ghost
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
I don’t want to be your downtime
I don’t want to be your stupid game
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe Ill find myself a new place
I don’t want to be the bad guy
I don’t want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to see some palm trees
Go and try and shake away this disease
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die
I am still dreaming of your face
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
I don’t want to be your good time
I don’t want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
Ill walk right out into a brand new day
Insane and rising in my own weird way
I don’t want to be the bad guy
I don’t want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to feel some sunshine
I just want to find some place to be alone
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die

“What kind of judges will Obama appoint? Easy: ones who will sanction the Congress’ up-and-coming “Hate Crimes†legislation.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin_v._Mitchell
That was a unanimous Rehnquist opinion from 1993.
“Anita Hill. Just because he hates Clarence Thomas.”
Not just that, but also to test Specter’s new loyalties.
joe biden
“i would not/could not/

unless michelle/with her steel drivin’ hammer’
“corrected” me
You cannot “test” for nor can something be “new” which has never existed. Spector is loyal to Spector. Singular, loyal to himself, only. This does however make him a good fit for and right at home as a Democratic Party Leader except for the Party thing. They will come to love him as much as I do.
So what is your point?
120: Oh my gods! I forgot about Leslie! I used to live in Austin in the 90’s, and had to walk through downtown to catch my bus for work, and I passed Leslie almost every day. Good times. Good, strange times…
“So what is your point?”
That there’s no need to be concerned with “hate crimes” and the court. Its already weighed in unanimously.
So you all can just, y’know, stop thinking and shut up now. Permanently. Oh, and that little mess with CJ Taney and all, just nevermind that.
But if you think Obama is nominating people ‘who will sanction the Congress’ up-and-coming “Hate Crimes†legislation’ then you’re barking up the wrong tree.
You are a liar, liebot.
Every word out of your lying liehole is a lie.
Sorry.
The Supreme Court rule against Dred Scott 7-2, liebot.
I guess you’re okay with that one, too?
How about the 7-1 decision in Plessy v. Ferguson, liebot?
How about the unanimous decision on In re Debs, liebot?
Okay with that one?
You haven’t figured out that I’m being descriptive here, not normative.
You haven’t figured out that I’m not going to let you lie, spin, prevaricate, drag the conversation off-topic, introduce red herrings, or any of the other shop-worn tactics of which you are so fond.
I’m not going to let you pretend that this is any type of honest discussion or debate. It isn’t.
I’m not going to let you pretend that you are arguing in good faith. You aren’t.
You are a liar, liebot. Everything you say is a lie, either direct or by omission.
So do you think that obama is concerned with nominating people
I think you are a serial liar, and I’m not going to help you pretend that this is any type of honest discussion or debate. It isn’t. I’m not going to help you pretend that you’re anything other than a mendacious, spinning crapweasel. You aren’t.
Lame comeback, crapweasel, even for you.
What, you don’t know how to respond when others refuse to let you control the narrative? No chapter in Alinsky for that situation, liebot?
