yeah… well… let me know if Pope Frank suddenly cuts short his tour of Mexico to come administer Last Rites and preside at the funeral on orders from god…
A hunting trip in Texas, eh? Anyone know the whereabouts of a Richard Cheney? Also goes by DICK.
Whoever will speak for Clarence now? I fear his voice has been silenced.
Someone’s loss, someone else’s gain.
There goes slob Robert’s grip on the court.
No J Edgar paraphenalia?

I hope it wasn’t cholesterol ---- I’m havin’ a DOUBLE ice cream ! ! —
The Chief Justice confided to friends that the Court’s windows have been battered by ravens since the news broke…
Obama will nominate a replacement … and will shrewdly select a nominee who will be very very difficult for anyone to oppose - - other than to simply come straight out & say they want to totally take away Obama’s ability to make a selection… which will work even worse than the shutdown.
