    I haven’t heard the podcast yet, but does Merrick laugh at his own jokes? If not, that’d be a dead giveaway to the opposition that something is up …

    Supreme Court justices aren’t elected, doofus!

    Would it be worth putting on a tie?

    Hahaha! Well, fair enough. But I laugh at your jokes too!

    Would it be worth putting on a tie?

    Absolutely not. To be on the Supreme Court? Abso. Lutely. Not.

    I look forward to the decision finding Klavanless weekends unconstitutional.

    Really? My jokes are pretty bad …

    Honestly, the laugh is part of why I listen to the podcast.

    How about a powdered wig? A powdered wig might be nice…

    That is a brilliant plan.  If we can’t trick the judge into shaving his own head, we’ll send Mitt Romney after him.

    You can go ‘commando’ underneath the robe. That could be worth the tie.

    Finally, SCOTUS rulings would be issued via podcast. The summary/opening satire bit will be my favorite part.

    OK, here’s the secret conservative conspiracy I just came up with:

    1. Confirm Garland and replace him with Klavan.
    2. Get Trump to accept Cruz as his V.P. and (bear with me, here) have the conservatives rally behind the pair.
    3. About one week after the inauguration, find a reasonable pretense to impeach Trump.  It won’t be hard.  He’ll probably commit six high crimes or misdemeanors before breakfast.  If there’s nothing major in the first week, just impeach him for the crime of bad taste after he gold-plates the Oval Office.
    4. Voila!  We get President Cruz, Justice Klavan, and happy days are here again!

    One more step:  First have Mitch McConnell take up Rush’s joking proposal to trade Obama approval on Garland for having the Justice Department indict Hillary Clinton.

    This way, we get Klavan, and the fun of Hillary facing prosecution.

    I had a friend who clerked at SCOTUS, and there are some downsides to being a “rookie” Justice.  You have to bring the donuts for morning conferences (the Chief gets a bear claw) and pick up the room afterwards.  You have to say “My esteemed colleagues, may I please . . ” if you need to leave the room, and they can make you sing your college fight song during dinners after a few cocktails.  You also have the collateral duty of making sure that Justice Ginsburg is awake.  It’s not an easy gig.

    I like it, but can we figure a way to make it President Klavan and Justice Cruz? That could be even better!

    I should probably find a more constructive outlet for my ideas.

    I have a better idea!  Put on a wig, start taking hormones, then we can replace Sonia Soto- . . . never mind, won’t work.
