For a late April Fools joke - the President could always nominate Sarah Palin as SCOTUS.
Any nomination that the President makes is going to be opposed by Republicans so it would just be hilarious to see them oppose Palin. The remaining PUMA bigots wouldn't know what way round to wear their sheets.

Hizzbull or whatever the PUMAs call that site would claim it is all part of some commie Muslim plot to silence the half baked Alaskan.

Nothalfbigoted would claim that there was a whitey tape featuring Michelle Obama and Sarah Palin (ps Flowbee Johnson was mocked the other day for the whitey tape on the Daily Show).

Teabaggers would end up spilling a different kind of warm yellow water based liquid over their teabags and the Senate Rethug Leadership would go into melt down trying to argue why she is not qualified.

She would be a horrible choice in reality but good for the laughs.

2. The job requires a law degree -which SP doesn't have- but that wouldn't stop
righties from thinking she's perfectly qualified anyway.

4. Actually, the job doesn't require a law degree.

Technically, anyone can be nominated to the Supreme Court.

14. Well, that might be OK, then, especially if it turns out she really is that
Deborah person in the bible.

Probably be a good thing to have an OT figure on the SC.

10. Oh come on! Everybody knows that the SCROTUS is just
another oblique reference to testicles, kind of like tea-bagging. Not falling for that one again.

:silly:

(excerpt from talk show)

Those liberals can't even spell scrotum right, and why do they keep capitalizing it? It's like they're shouting "balls!". Really, what is their obsession with testicles?

(simpers, giggles, wiggles)
