While We're At It - Why Not Appoint Judge Judy To the Supreme Court


If Harriet Miers is qualified to be on the Supreme Court, then why not Judge Judy?

Here are Judge Judy's Quals:

Here are some excerpts from Judge Judy's book - Don't Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It's Raining: America's Toughest Family Court Judge Speaks Out:

"By shifting the emphasis from individual responsibility to government responsibility, we have infantilized an entire population."

"During my years in family court, I have seen a dramatic deterioration in the lives of adults and children. At the same time, there has been a dramatic increase in expensive public programs. We are spending a fortune and the result is failure. The recipients of these monies are in the same or worse shape than before, and the consequences are all around us"

To further prove her qualifications, here are some of the best quotes from her award winning show:

"If you live to be a hundred you will never be as smart as me"

"Do I have stupid written over my forehead?"

"Have you ever heard of the KISS principle? Keep It Simple, Stupid?"

"This is my courtroom I can say what I want. When you become a Judge, we will talk."

"Do you feel as if you're getting whipped? (laughs) You sure are!"

"You spent seventy-two dollars getting your hair done? You wasted your money!"

"Two people can't talk at the same time. When my mouth is moving, it means that you need to be quiet."

"Do you know when a gift becomes a loan? When the relationship is over. Have you ever heard that, sir? Well, neither have I. I just made it up. I'm going to put it on coffee mugs."

"Sir, the table didn't have three beers and get up and move!!!"

"You are not a good witness. Because a good witness answers a Judge's question directly, and my question to you was a very simple one. A SIX YEAR OLD COULD ANSWER IT!!!"

"My grandmother always told me; beauty fades, but dumb is forever!"

"gotta job? well get one!"

"Of course I’m right, I’m always right.” "I got an A for Torts in Law School.” "BALONEY SIR!"

"I'm like a truth machine."

"I'm the boss, Applesauce."

"l have 3 sons so l know you are no gift! You're not even good looking!!"

"That's going to be the most expensive curse word you ever said!"

"Did you just curse at him? Get out"

"Ridiculous --- NEXT!"

"I think you ought to be quiet. You know, they don't need anybodys tirring up the pot. You're a pot-stirrer."

"Sir don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining."

"Do I look like I need help from you?"

"Did you forget you were coming to coming to court today?"

"I don't care what you think! I'M the one who has to make a determinationwhat is fair."

If these are not the credentials required to be on the Supreme Court, I don't know what is. Compared to Harriett Miers, Judge Judy is the most qualified to take the next seat.

Do the right thing Congress - Appoint Judge Judy

Imagine the ratings you'll get!

CRM, good point. Bush is laying down here. I can feel it. I can smell it. I think we're going to be in for a big surprise come her instillation. She's gonna pull the same shit that O'Connor pulled to Reagan.

I'm still worried about Roberts. I pray that he is a constitutionalist. I pray that he is an ideologue. We're going to find out soon enough. If it's as bad as some suggest, I might prefer some teeth-nashing as opposed to the next 20 years..
 
BTW, I hope you don't mind that I quoted you today on my blog.
 
Nice one! I'm with you!
 
If Judy got in, Ruth would take an early retirement...NEXT...
 
This is frightening, but this pick makes as much sense as the current one. Yikes!
 
Ouch. A tough post, but I have to say that the president deserves it. I am as disappointed as most other conservatives. I wanted a strict constitutionalist with experience and immpecable credentials and we didn't get that. We had a chance to change the court and bush may have blown it.

Of course, as notaclue indicates, Miers may well turn out to be a conservative. But even best case, there's no indication she's an intellectual heavyweight in the tradition of Scalia. BTY, this is not an insult, just an observation.
 
I nominate Judge Marilyn Milian of The People's Court !
(She's cuter).

;-P
 
I think the point of Bush's nomination was he wanted someone he knew he could trust to be a strict conservative constructionist. He knows her well, and believes this to be true about her, so he picked her. Rest assured she will be confirmed. The Democrats seem to be thinking it will definitely give the Republicans a black eye, and since she appears to be a stealth candidate they are hoping she'll pull a Suitor.

CRM, I have to disagree, although I really like Judge Judy! lol.

You guys and gals need to slow down and take a breath! What do you know about her? Are you too haughty that if she doesn't pass YOUR litmus test, she shouldn't be on the bench?

Let's look at that reasoning. We want someone on the bench that will rule according to the Constitution and it's Amendments. If we do not receive this, what are we truly looking for? An activist? THAT IS WHAT WE HATE! Get a grip!

Now, I am disappointed as well. I wanted Justice Janice Rogers Brown. Ask me why? Do I know her personally? No. Have I read her briefs? No. Do I know anything about her? Well, not really. So why am I disappointed? Because a lot of conservatives wanted her to be on the bench.

I had to do some soul searching and be honest with myself. Let's watch the hearings with an open and keen mind. Okay?

Well, that's my 2 cents. Have a great day everyone!
 
Out of 100 qualified jurists and scholars of the law for this seat, where would her name have appear in that list? Vegas odds tell me she would not have made it. And I have to think that if I was on the President's short list, I would have ask myself what else do I have to do to get the the SC?

Anyway, this is parody.
 
Go Ahead On, Olga! Thanks again for the visit! Ya'll Come back, Now. Ya Hear!
