Don't forget to tune out tonight at 9PM Eastern, when President George "I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family" Bush tells us just what right wing gas bag he is putting on the Supreme Court.
If you're looking for something judicial, may I suggest instead watching a re-run of “Law and Order” whose ADA Serena Southerlyn is my candidate for the the vacant Justice position.
The bio:
ADA Serena Southerlyn became an Assistant District Attorney, under Executive Assistant District Attorney Jack McCoy following the departure of ADA Abbie Carmichael.
In contrast to the often bracingly conservative Carmichael, Southerlyn was an idealistic liberal much in the vein of Claire Kincaid and Jamie Ross. She often disagreed and fought with McCoy over their trial strategies in cases where she saw the defendant's crime as a byproduct of social circumstances, such as homelessness or racism. She had an especially antagonistic relationship with DA Arthur Branch.
Southerlyn was brought before the Bar association's Disciplinary Committee in 2003 after promising a murder suspect who had taken hostages legal help to get him to release them. McCoy, who had once been brought before the Committee himself, represented her. She was reprimanded, but kept her law license.
