Southern Appeal has some delightful speculation on who may be Pres. Bush’s picks for the next additions to the Supremes. Here’s the first two possibilities:
Who? Judge Wapner
Famous from? The People’s Court
Pros? Excellent legal reasoning in his decision on The Angry Landlord v. The Deadbeat Renter
Cons? His 6th Amendment jurisprudence as demonstrated in Fluffy v. Spot while he was judge on Animal Planet’s Animal Court. Plus he’s really, really old.Who? Judge Judy
Famous from? Her TV show
Pros? She and Scalia would get along famously. Has a tough, no nonsense personality.
Cons? She probably wouldn’t accept since it would be a pay cut, plus Supreme Court hearings aren’t televised.
