Dear President Obama,

Not many people realize that of the four founding members of Handsome Donkey, almost 50% of us hold law degrees. Given our vast expertise in the field, Mr. President, we would urge you to consider our short list of judicial nominees to fill Justice John Paul Stevens’s seat on the highest court in the land. We feel the nominees on this list will complement the already established personalities of the court, like John Roberts’s spineless bowing to corporate interests or Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s alleged insatiable sexual appetites (we hear she was the first justice to have a stripper pole in the chamber since Oliver Wendell Holmes.)

Thank you, Mr. President, and good luck with the appointments!

-HD.

Judge Joe Brown

Judge Dredd

The Honorable Judge Reinhold

Judge Doom (on second thought, this may be a terrible idea)

Chief Justice Roberts Looked at Elena Kagan’s Briefs

FROM YESTERDAY’S NEW YORK TIMES: Chief Justice John Roberts told Solicitor General Elena Kagan, in open court no less, “I looked at your briefs.” Witnesses in the courtroom said that the comment came after Ms. Kagan had bent down to pick up her highlighter.

UPDATED: Apparently Chief Justice Roberts was referring to some “legal briefs” filed by Ms. Kagan on behalf of the U.S. Government. Thanks for pointing out our error “resipsa33.” Apologies for any confusion.
