Tonight's "America (The Book)" passage
I'm very tired. It's been a long week. And I'm about to say "fuck it" and go to bed early. But not without leaving you with tonight's "AMERICA (The Book)" passage.
Chapter Three, The President:
Sometimes, if a president is truly fortunate, a Supreme Court justice retires or dies on his watch. This gives the president a chance to appoint to a lifetime term on the highest court in the land the craziest motherfucker he can sneak past Congress. Typically these appointees are jurists whose opinions run the ideological gamut from the right ("Jesus says retarded gays must be put to death") to the left ("Man-on-pumpkin sex is an inalienable right and should be taught to children"). Any Supreme Court nominee whose opinion falls in between is deemed ideologically unreliable and his nomination is killed in committee.
