More SCOTUS judges should consider joys of retirement. (Update)
I have so much respect for Justice O’Connor and now Justice Sueter.
Most of the remaining justices can pat themselves on the back saying, “Well done!” and ready themselves to go into the glorious world of retirement. In my opinion, many people retire due to the fact they want to spend more time with their secondary passion now they have the time and resources to do so. It is further my opinion those who do not retire are spending their later years in a monochromatic existence froth with “King of the world” egos or its equivalence. I am sure it is easy to get into that frame of mind but just like the character Sportin’ Life sang in the folk opera Porgy’n Bess, “It ain’t necessarily so!”
If some of those older Justices really know how much the world has changed since taking the bench and how much their views have been collecting dust in the cobwebs on Father Time's sickle, they would wet their Pampers. There is a fresh group of clerks who have graduated with newer textbooks and theories and social contacts in their lives. More people skills than we old timers could ever imagine. More life, more vigor and more contemporary “Save the world!” personal mandates. Those guys would come on the scene with an equally fresh and younger court Justice.
All, and I say all of the Justices now occupying the benches on the Supreme Court of the United State have a chance to go down in history to a degree well beyond their wildest imagination by retiring under this administration. Think about it! Guaranteed immortality! A clean break from the nasty and mean ol’ previous administration. If I were one of the older members on the court, I would not let Death scribe my life on the Supreme Court but rather tell him what to say……after I retire with fishing rod in hand.
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S. (Joke)
- (Politician) I’m home, dear. Did you see me on television this morning? Yeah, I did it. Finally decided to retire. Boy, were they surprised. Hey, what’s all these bags doing here at the door? Are we going somewhere? Honey, honey where are you?
- (Comes out of library. Hands him divorce papers.) I married you for better or worse; not for lunch.

Excerpt: (Author) Lawyer: “I rest my case, your honor.”
This is a story of conservative hypocrisy, unjustified anger, and hilarity. It begins with a law school class project, and it ends with an epic FAIL on behalf of (72 yr.old) Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
