Ha Ha! Makes me think (even though it's baseball!) of Mr. Applegate's plan to use Lola to entice Joe away from his marriage by making him young again, helping him be the greatest pitcher and planning to take his soul. You know, that old story by JW Goethe, what was that? Oh yeah, Faust!

 

(edited to say my reference is to the musical, Damn Yankees, which I had planned to mention! :eek:o_O)

How Supreme Court Justices Are Chosen

 

INFOGRAPHIC February 16, 2016

VOL 52 ISSUE 06 · News · Government · Supreme Court

http://i.onionstatic.com/onion/5271/6/original/1200.jpg

Here is a step-by-step guide to how U.S. Supreme Court justices are selected:

  • Step 1: Supreme Court vacancy opens after a sitting justice dies, retires, or is promoted to the Galactic Circuit
     
  • Step 2: President wistfully crosses out own name from list of potential candidates
     
  • Step 3: Official presidential nominee slowly lowered by rope into Senate Judiciary Committee pit
     
  • Step 4: Nominee charged one-time $30 background check fee
     
  • Step 5: Candidate asked whether they see themselves in exact same place 35 years from now
     
  • Step 6: Judiciary Committee members ask nominee whether they capable of writing a dissent that could be described as “blistering”
     
  • Step 7: Candidate attests they have no opinion whatsoever on issue of abortion, don’t know what it is, and frankly have never heard such a word uttered before
     
  • Step 8: Senate takes nominee out to drinks to see how they act in casual, informal setting
     
  • Step 9: Nominee stands as their predecessor’s robe is draped over them to see if government can save a few bucks on not ordering a new one
     
  • Step 10: Following months of direct questioning, witness testimony, and poring over the nominee’s qualifications and judicial history, the Senate votes on whether they like the president or not
     
  • Step 11: If confirmed, justice takes oath of office and is assigned a bench buddy to help them through their first few opinions
     
  • Step 12: If candidate not confirmed, process repeats indefinitely until other party holds White House or country is awash in the hot, crimson blood of neighbor killing neighbor, whichever comes first
