Well no matter what

Well no matter what organization the newby has to be the one who is the newby.

I wouldn't ever want to interfere with normal humanoid hierarchical organizational protocals. I wouldn't because, I know you can't.

The new shit head has to go get coffee, that is the least of it, that is only a sygnifier... he/she would have to do much more, in the real play.

I don't know what your driving at, because well... the least of my concerns would be the little hurt feelings that might be from being the lowest on the stupreme court bench, or "who has to get the coffee"

MIght like it if they would do a better job, but oh that's too quaint.

You definitely made me think

You definitely made me think and become aware of something so obvious, yet 'hidden', that I never truly considered the ramifications before.

Has our SCOTUS become the ultimate bully pulpit in place ONLY to further the goals of a select few without regard for the whole?

Have the 'rules' that remain constant in the processes of both seating the court as well as defining the court's procedures become more harmful than beneficial?

How could SCOTUS become a better servant of fairness and justice for all?

Until we can answer the latter with productive and viable solutions, the bully brigades will prevail.

Thanks for this.

I think they have to have a chief justice, but... it's weird that the chief justice is picked whenever another chief vacates that post. Shouldn't the court pick its own chief?

Ginsburg had to stand 17 years, Clarence Thomas 18 years, Stepehn Breyer's still standing after 18 years. Fortunately for them, they only do these photos once a year or when a new justice is elected.

Ginsburg carried coffee for less than a year, Breyer carried coffee for 11 years. Thomas has been carrying the GOP's water for 21 years (cymbal shot).

Do you think it's fair to have a Chief Justice, or should they all be equals?

Do you think hazing extends to anything consequential? Is there any hazing we can recommend for their year 2000 Gore v Bush ruling?
