LOL, first-rate. The only change I'd make is Alito should tear off his judicial robes to reveal a giant hot dog costume while loudly declaring they were all trying to find the guy who did this. And maybe Kavanaugh should be drinking a beer.
Kavanaugh's tricky to satirize, do you go with "drunk" or do you go with "rapist"? I mean, sure, there's "drunk rapist", but maybe that's too over-the-top? I don't know, Roy's the professional, I have to trust his judgement on this one.
I don't doubt Roy's rendition is leaps and bounds better than my even MORE slapstick version. But for my money you can't go wrong with ALWAYS portraying Kavanaugh as a drunken, aging frat boy.
Frequently, the satire's so good that I mistake it for the real thing.
But today's is not satire but, like, verbatim, yeah? The tell is Alito's admission that he leaked. Everyone knows the leak came from his chambers -- that is, by him or at his request 😉 -- ditto the reasoning he gave for leaking it.
So today's post can't be a satire but a verbatim document Roy somehow obtained. Surely by now, after decades of work in the field he must have some deep state sources or deep state actors on whose behalf he runs stuff like today's post. Surely his high quality mockery of FPOTUS and his emulators serves deep state interests...?
Now I really want to see Ginni “I don’t discuss the issues with my spouse” Thomas, dressed like Catwoman, attempt a cartwheel! Somehow I don’t think she’s very agile and it (and she) would go down exactly as Roy described.
I would love to see her humiliated, ending with her head stuck in a waste basket, arms and legs flailing as she bumps into and knocks over even more furniture and stuff on said furniture.
"this is Justice Sam – Cyrus Esposito, a new Justice on the Supreme Court, now I’m absolutely brand new, just got here this morning, they snuck me in the back, so you have never heard of me but look here"
Do you want court packing? Because this is how you get court packing!
Also, "Hijinks at the High Court" was right there...
You make an excellent point, the SC is really far behind the state of the art in right-wing griftology.
Anyone for a betting pool on which justice adds a MLM or Ponzi pitch to their written opinion or spoken arguements first? You know that every lawyer who argues in front of them would sign up, and sign up their client list, just to grease the wheels of justice...
Surely the gentlemen (and gentlewomen!) of the court do not need to be questioned under oath like common criminals. When a Supreme Court Justice says "No, I did not hand over a copy to my pals at the Federalist Society" a gentleman (Or gentlelady! As the case may be!) takes him at his word.
If anybody knows comedian Max St John, they need to request the Hallmark Channel movie version. His sketches of Hallmark Christmas movie pitches on Instagram are hilarious, and he might be able to expand his repertoire.
Roy, you've got it all wrong with Alito, the Chief Justice (all rise) has already said, based on No Evidence Whatsoever, that this was a "misguided act of protest" (translation: "The 'Rican did it.")
I appreciate most how the sequence shifts from one movie genre to genre, with Marsha as the only one not playing along. Pure "How to Comedy 201." Brava!

I have awaited this report since I saw the update from the Court.
Cheers, Roy.
SOTOMAYOR: [Quietly] We’re on a live feed with Miss Grace Taylor’s American Government class at Crispus Attucks High School in Racine, Wisconsin.
"Quietly" is the operative strategy of the WEAPONIZED FEDERAL STATE!
" ask the Puerto Rican "
OUCH
"Cat burglar pose"
Ha-
I know exactly what that is!
This is hilarious- thanks!
Nardo did it!

Leaking about the leak, mebbe?
Now I really want to see Ginni “I don’t discuss the issues with my spouse” Thomas, dressed like Catwoman, attempt a cartwheel! Somehow I don’t think she’s very agile and it (and she) would go down exactly as Roy described.
No thanks, I’d rather go blind.
To quote the late great great great Etta James...
Blind, hollow log, railroad line...'tis a slippery slope...
Also, props to Johnny Otis!
And be sloppy drunk as Jimmy Rogers says
A great blues singer and a popular crossword clue!
Etta or Otis? (I am not crosswordic).
Johnny Otis "discovered" Etta James. He was always a good time kinda guy, and a good promoter. I met him a couple times and he was fun to talk with.
However, if I hadda choose an Etta it would be Jones.
Etta. Crossword makers love palindromic words: ere, tot, deed, mom, etc.
I would love to see her humiliated, ending with her head stuck in a waste basket, arms and legs flailing as she bumps into and knocks over even more furniture and stuff on said furniture.
You might be confusing her with Jonah Goldberg (no worries, happens all the time)
She doesn't do cartwheels. She has *staff* for that.
The wheels done fell off the cart.

Also, "Hijinks at the High Court" was right there...
Also right there was the alias Justice Anthony Devolder (drag name Kitara Ravache would be too obvious) ...

Whatever is corporater...
I could see Kavanaugh adding a "Brought to you by Carl's Jr." to the end of each sentence if the money was right.
I was taken by the report that none of the Justices were questioned under oath. That speaks volumes to how guilty they are.
Surely the gentlemen (and gentlewomen!) of the court do not need to be questioned under oath like common criminals. When a Supreme Court Justice says "No, I did not hand over a copy to my pals at the Federalist Society" a gentleman (Or gentlelady! As the case may be!) takes him at his word.
I see this on the Lifetime Network, a lady-lawyer show called "Marshal's Law." Roy, have your people call mine.

Ginni trying a cartwheel is an image too horrible to contemplate.
The bankers lamp got me.
Step away from the banker's lamp.
Yep. My mind went to, "You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Ms. Curley!"
In black tights, no less. Yikes.
Can we look forwrard to a sequel with Roberts, Kagan, and Barrett?
Roy's best satirical column. So far.
I don't buy it. There's no way Ginni Thomas is that demure and dignified.
This was before her afternoon bottle of wine.
"Gin (hic) ni Thomas"
Effin brill. Bunuel, Lynch, Roy! I just hope that in the film, Ginny sounds like she's adding unnecessary apostrophes.
