WASHINGTON, D.C.—Oral arguments in SCOTUS’s hearing over OSHA’s vaccine mandates had to be postponed a third time this morning as Justice Sonia Sotomayor got her gavel stuck up her nose again.
“Dang it, Sonia!” shouted Kavanaugh as he looked over and saw her frantically trying to get the wooden mallet unstuck. “How many times do we have to tell you not to do that? I’d whoop you if you were my kid!” Kavanaugh then cracked open a tall, cool Keystone Light to take the edge off.
Meanwhile, Justice Barrett had jumped into action. “There, there, it’s OK, baby,” she said. “Awwwww, did you get da wittle hammer stuck up dere again sweetie pie? Shhhh, shhh, it’s OK, just breathe. Just breathe.” Barrett fed her some Goldfish and a juice box to calm her down while EMTs arrived on the scene.
“Is it Sonia again?” asked the first EMT to enter the room. “Yeah, guys, it’s just Sonia again! Poor girl. When she choked on her webcam last month, we were really scared for her. She’s gonna be OK. Come on, honey. Let’s get you to your favorite hospital room. They’re playing Schoolhouse Rock in there — it’s the one about the Constitution! You can learn something while you recover.” This cheered the justice up considerably.
Go here to read the rest. The Supreme Court has steadfastly refused to allow the video recording of court proceedings in the Federal system. The Supreme Court does allow the sound broadcast of oral arguments before them. After the argument of the vaccine mandate case last week, perhaps they will stop that. Justice Sotomayor’s cock and bull claim that 100,000 kids are hospitalized in serious condition, many on ventilators, over Covid was just one example of the fact that most of the Justices, when they get beyond law speak, are shockingly ill-informed. During last week a grand total of 140 kids were hospitalized for Covid. The Supreme Court when it acts like a court has a role to play; when it attempts to pretend to be a group of Platonic Guardians, we would do just as well with a group chosen by lot from all adult Americans, not in prisons or in loony bins.
Sotomayor is a Quota Queen of no particular talent who was appointed on that basis. What little future she had is behind her and demonstrates that a democrat President did not look very deeply to find someone to check another affirmative action box, never mind the quality.
