Studies have shown that “lower” animals can determine what’s fair, and it might be nice to see a little more of that “primitive” concept in court decisions.

As you know, Fallenmonk, when you spend time working in the fields during the Summer, you either learn to love the land or hate it, and it lasts a lifetime.

The reality is, Steve, about the only people who see the Supreme Court at work are lawyers, and there is no need to impress them. The only “window” to the Court is by transcripts, and now audio recordings. They are still functioning as a radio show, so costumes aren’t very important. The artists are free to to use all of the “license” at their disposal to visualize what is happening.

Hey, Rehnquist started this, so I think we should go with it. About half the time, baggy pants and floppy shoes would be more in the spirit of what they are doing than black robes.

I find it difficult to believe that a Court comprising so many Catholic members… I can’t remember the number, but it’s surely easily a majority already… could possibly judge objectively in freedom-of-religion cases.

[Update: there are already five Catholics, Roberts, Kennedy, Scalia, Thomas and Alito… the usual conservative bloc. Tell me the Pope isn’t manipulating the U.S. Supreme Court; go on, tell me.]

Nobody ever bothers to ask if G-d has any real interest in hanging around with the perverts who seem to get elected to Congress. They don’t seem terribly interested in obeying any sort, kind, or type of law. Not exactly the sort of raw material for a believer.

I admit that going to work in a bathrobe appeals to me, but I would like a selection of colors, and I insist on a hat. How does anyone know you’re important without a good hat. I wouldn’t like wearing a lamb on my head like British judges, but a good hat sets the tone.

I still say, you’d be better than just about anyone else there, or being nominated. You ate the very least, know what the phrase ‘Laws of the United States of America’ mean. I haven’t heard of congress officially amending the Constitution to add the word ‘Biblical’ or ‘Christian’ at the front of that phrase yet, but to listen to most of the current Justices and the GOP morons, it seams to be taken as a done deal.

Of course, when any of the rightwingnut hypocrites (including those secretly affiliated) mention ‘Bible’ or ‘Christian’ their definition of those words are definitely a unique interpretation and vastly different to what anyone rational and honest take them to mean.

Unfortunately I wasn’t raised in a hippie peace and love environment, like Margaret, Kryten, so I would spend all my time not leaping over the table. Margaret deals with hecklers and can be devastating, besides she likes the spotlight, so at least one of the people in the room would be happy.

To help understand Sessions, all of his statements end with “G-d bless America” and they generally begin with either “This might offend some people but” or “I’m not a bigot but”. He is a smoother, better dressed George Wallace or “Bull” Connor.
