Sonia’s coming!! Sonia’s coming….
-Listen up, you guys. You all know Sonia’s coming.
-(All) That bitch! (Groans) Big deal! Mama Lucia! No, Mama Maria! (Laughter) Big Mama! (Laughter) I think she would be good for this court. (Boo!)
-Come’on, guys! Get serious and Clarence you are going to look awfully funny when that bubblegum pops around your lips.
-Sorry, Boss....thank you Suh. Mighty nice of you to think of me.
- We always think of you, Clarance. You know you're our boy.
-Thank you, Suh. God bless you. (Sits down)
-(All) Three cheers for Clarance.
-Ruth, hold your head up! Can you see me with that Star of David hanging ‘round your neck?
-I can see what I want to see, thank you!
-John, I have a question.
-Yes, Sam?
-Will we have to look at more cases now? I mean supposing she and her clerks decide we can look at more cases than we do.
-Yeah, that last case with the fire fighters ran my clerks ragged. They were not happy with the researching they had to do. They’re so lazy! Half of’em wouldn’t recognize the Fourteenth Amendment or Title Seven if they fell on their cone heads!
-Mine too. When I went into the room to find out what they had for me they were always eating lunch at such odd hours of the day or looking at a move or something. I pretty much was on my own in my vote.
-And what if Maria, I mean Sonia, ask of us if there is a president or if Congress has passed a law?
-What do you mean, John!
-I mean supposing she suggest we, or our clerks first find our the intentions of Congress and that particular state’s laws regarding the questions a case presents?
-Yes, Tony?
-We’re fucked! Who’tha hell is gonna to spend that much time in research?
-Come’on, guys! We can do it!
-What do you mean “We!” I am thinking about spending more time with my family. I’m not going to take this shit! Sonia baby, it’s all yours! I’m outta here!
-Yeah, if those guys who voted to put me here think I am going to work myself to death at my age, they’re crazy as hell.
-..and you can kiss my ass if you think I’m going to start being here everyday. I do have a life outside of the Supreme Court, you know!
-David, tell us. Why are you really leaving? I mean, really leaving?
-’cause ya’ll full of shit.
-Amen to that.
-I think she would be good for this court.
-(all) Boo! (All line up leaving room singing, "La Cucaracha")
As always,

P.S. The silliest thing I saw this week were some Isralis with head dress looking like giant hat boxes scuffling with Israeli solders. I couldn’t find out what that was all about. It was on the news so fast. (And they call some Muslins “Rag heads”)

Excerpt:
Sotomayor can expect to be grilled on her supposed ethnic bias and gender issues, but the real issue has nothing to do with either. It has to do with the taint that has been on the Supreme Court since the shameful ruling over the 2000 Presidential election. The purity of the justices, their supposed detachment from the dirty business of politics, was exposed as a sham. Defying the court's own long precedent, the right wing simply installed George Bush by fiat. They did so willfully, smugly, openly, and without remorse, figuring that it was payback for the activist decisions initiated under the liberal Warren court. Nine years later, the irony is that if Sotomayor were the partisan zealot so ridiculously portrayed by her opponents, she'd fit right in. Her balance and impartiality could actually be hindrances, although we are told she's good at judicial street fighting -- let's hope so.
