Scalia to double-dip on Supreme Court votes
Satire
The White House is expected to nominate Justice Antonin Scalia to take the place of retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor O'Connor's place.
While it may seem highly unusual for a sitting Supreme Court Justice to be nominated for a vacancy, the White House is hoping to avoid being Souter-ized (expecting ideology from a Supreme Court Nominee only to be greeted with sound legal judgment) as happened to the first President Bush. As "a known commodity dedicated to outstanding jurisprudence" the White House expects Scalia is to sail through the nomination process.
If Scalia's nomination is approved, the Justice will have two votes. Legal scholars do not expect that Scalia would split his votes within the same opinion. White House strategists are hard at work making a compelling case for Justice Scalia to receive two Supreme Court votes.
It is expected that Scalia will be introduced to the press next week in front of a lovely "Committed to the Constitution" backdrop. |
