Probably went something like this:
Roberts: OK... this has been hanging around like a bad joke. Should we look into this or not?
Alito: Uh... Well... uh. We should, but we might very well be labeled...uh...
Thomas: Racists. I’ve been called worse.
Sotomayor and Kagan in unison: You all are racists for even CONSIDERING looking into this!
Kagan: I’ve been through this already. There’s a reason so much $$ has been spent on this. It’s none of the Supreme Court’s business anyway. In fact, My homie...errr... I mean the Fuhrer...errr.. I mean President Obama has plans for us. He has decided he knows better what the Constitution says, and I for one trust him. He’s such a wonderful man and...
Roberts: Ok - but we still should at least LOOK at the allegations. We can bring this all to a nice close.
Sotomayor: If we open this can of worms, there will be rioting in the streets because of you racists..
Roberts: Ok, Case Closed
Well done. I’m afraid to say I think the scenario you describe is likely to be much closer to the truth of what actually happens in these conferences than most of us would want to imagine.
What does it take to get people to sit up and take notice and start asking questions? I am getting to be so frustrated with our lack of progress on this that I could soon decide to remove myself from political involvement altogether and just think of myself as living in a dictatorship where the peasantry is denied any voice in politics. At least that way I would be less disappointed and less surprised by the constant failing of our government and the press it now seems to rule over.
Wouldn’t life would be simpler and easier if I just put my head down and paid my taxes and resisted the urge to read the news?
Depressed rant over/
“... Sotomayor: If we open this can of worms, there will be rioting in the streets because of you racists..”
Roberts: OK you commie slum ‘itch - “Lets dew iet” said William to HIS homies. And let not one of the traitors escape our rath. To the ramparts brothers !!
