Top ten things

[Sojourner]

[url="http://benedictblog.com/"]From Benedict ...[/url]

10) Meat-less Fridays all year round in the Supreme Court cafeteria;

9) Oral arguments in Latin;

8) The bones of Chief Justice Marshall will be disinterred and placed in a glass coffin in the center of the Supreme Court bench;

7) Collections between each session of oral argument;

6) Supreme Court windows replaced with stained glass;

5) On close votes, the Justices will consult a statue of St. Thomas More. If the statue weeps, they affirm; if no tears, then they reverse.

4) Incense at the start of each session;

3) Supreme Court opinions will be deemed infallible and unreviewable by any earthly authority [Ed. - Sorry - that does not appear to be a change at all]

2) Catechism of the Catholic Church will now be "persuasive authority";

And, the number one change which a Catholic majority would make to the Supreme Court . . .

1) Wednesday night bingo!

Well, that really should go without saying now shouldn't it.

And of course very holy day of obligation (like All Saints!) would be a federal holiday.

I prefer fluff-filled, myself. Sprinkles are messy.

There will be a good variety of doughnuts made available, except on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday of course.

Very good. If they can all be from Long's Bakery, that'd be my preference. Their maple-iced cake doughnuts are fantastic.

I'm not sure if that Bakery has a branch in DC, but it's the Supreme Court, I'm sure something can be arranged.

I'm pretty sure they're local to Indy, but for the Big Dogs I'm sure they could open a franchise or two.

Exactly what I mean when I say something could be arranged. Now that the doughnuts are worked out, let's discuss the beverages.

We have to pray for them. They need to resist corruption or it will be years of business as usual.

What's to discuss? Doughnuts and coffee. With cream.

Oh there's much to discuss. For starts, what about sugar? And what about for people who don't like coffee? Or for those who give it up during Lent?

That's right! If the days of rice cakes during judicial recesses are to be stricken forever from the annals of American jurisprudence, prayer is essential.

Prayer warriors unite: For Dogma! For Doughnuts!




















Sorry. Too many hours in the library.

I know how that goes, but they will be tempted.

Not needed. Sugar in coffee is unnecessary unless the coffee is bad, and this won't be bad coffee.

Inconsequential -- they can bring their own drinks. All the best people love coffee.

They gave it up, didn't they? They should expect a little suffering.

I contest the validity of that statement. many great people despise coffee. We definaely need to have hot chocolate and/or hot cider available.
