Who Needs a Judge?

And who says you can't learn anything reading hard right wing blogs? In today's Power Line, we find sage words of wisdom from "the deacon" (who is most certainly not any sort of leather clad slave master over his Power Line partner in crime "Hind Rocket", not that there's anything wrong with that even if he were...) that we don't need any damned judges to sit on the Supreme Court.

Jennifer Braceras of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights reminds us that one doesn't have to be a judge to be nominated to the Supreme Court. She provides a list of potential non-judge nominees that includes Senator John Kyl, attorney Miguel Estrada, former Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating, and Spencer Abraham who has just stepped down from the position of Secretary of Energy. Abraham is as intriguing possibility. He's best known as a U.S. Senator and Cabinet member. But, as a Harvard law student, he helped found the Federalist Society. No organization has done more to promote conservative legal causes.

Exactly, Deacon! Preach it, Brother! Who needs a damned judge just to sit on the highest court of the land? Hell, for that matter, I hear that radical Christian Cleric Pat Roberts is available with some free time on his hands. Perhaps he could step in and fill up one of those big black robes! If we have two openings, I'm sure Jerry Falwell could be persuaded. And if there are three openings... just imagine that... if there were three.. (can you hear the refrain of Alice's Restaraunt playing in your head yet?) why.... why... maybe DEACON could be a Supreme Court Justice! Hot Damn and pass the syrup! We'd show those Godless heathen lefties a thing or three then, I can assure you!
