Pros:

  • Cool architecture.
  • The bench is only slightly raised, instead of being higher than God as is not uncommon in many courts. Apparently the Justices do not have something to prove.
  • Their cafeteria food is actually pretty decent.
  • Marble, and plenty of it.
  • Just admitted Mythago to the Supreme Court bar.

Cons:

  • Supreme Court gift shop contains extremely limited variety of swag.

Habeas Claus!

At least part of the Supreme Court managed to figure out that, wow, this whole habeas corpus thing is an important legal right, even for bad people who don’t believe Jesus is their Lord and Savior.

I look forward to reading the decision to see how the faux “strict constructionalists” (*cough* Scalia *cough*) explain how the Framers took Islamofacism into account to create a mystical unwritten exception to the rule.
