Staying true to our mission of informing the public and now that the scandals are erupting almost daily regarding our fine judicial branch and its perpetrators, I would like to point out some strange, and basically not commonly known, oddities of this most illustrious branch of government. For the sake of brevity for which the judicial system is not known for because lawyers are involved, I have condensed these oddities into the top five. They are…

5. At the top of the judicial branch is the Supreme Court which represents those who interpret our sacred rights as spelled out in our Constitution. However, this small group of nine people are not elected by us, the people, but instead are appointed by the President which basically means the one criteria that ensures them a position on the bench is that their political beliefs are identical to the man who appointed them, not representative of the citizens they serve.

4. On top of this, this highly selective and personalized parrot of the President, receives a lifetime appointment. That means that they can only be removed by their own old age and feebleness in which in most cases it means until, and not until, they can no longer even muster up enough energy to put their robe on.

3. The beautiful symbol of justice, as we all know, is the goddess from Greek and Roman mythologies in which her blindfold is evidence of her unquestioned objectivity and gives rise to the phrase “justice is blind”. But interestingly enough with the three depictions of Lady Justice in the Supreme Court building, two wear blindfolds while the third, in the courtroom, does not. Hmmmmm…

2. We have to remember the important work of the judicial system. This important work involves your morning hardcore pornography session, your lunchtime abortion, and right up to your evening flag burning. And, it’s comforting to know that your judicial system is there, all the while, to make sure that everything that you say and do, can and will be used against you in a court of law.

1. The last and most important oddity of the judicial system has been recently uncovered in the past week to most of us unbeknowing (is that a real word?) citizens. This has to do with the shocking fact that the President also appoints all 93 U.S. attorneys to “serve at his pleasure” which has come to mean in the Bush administration, kicking Democrats’ asses.
