"With all the recent distractions, I’m looking forward to when the Supreme Court can finally settle down and go back to handing out awful, awful rulings again."

Young Man

Greg Brathwaite,
Primary-School Teacher
"So he's nicknamed 'Scalito' because of his similarity to Scalia. I see. Why were we all so against Miers, again?"

Asian Man

Brad Vodak,
Kiln Operator
"When Alito is asked to state his full name before the confirmation hearings, he should say 'Harriet Miers.' Then after the entire audience finally stops laughing, he could say, 'No, seriously, it’s Samuel A. Alito Jr.'"
