Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Now, if only Clarence Thomas would have a stroke while being serviced by a hooker in some very public place, my world would be perfect.
Antonin Scalia would be even better.
Wow did I read that wrong and wow do I need some brain bleach.

Breaking news: Dick Cheney Eaten by Sharks!!
See I'd believe he'd shoot himself in the face before I'd believe this. I mean, are sharks cannibals?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Perhaps Thomas would have a stroke while being serviced by Scalia in some public place.
See, no way is Thomas the top in this relationship.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Yeah... what if we got rid of the public place requirement in that case, would that make it any better?
It has to be a public place so it can't be easily covered up. And Scalia would be good, too. I just couldn't remember his name. And remembering the Thomas approval hearings, he seemed like a more likely candidate for the scenario.

vw -- I'm not positive, but:
a) Nobody has veto power. The other votes combined are greater than 30, so if 30's against something it can still pass. Nobody in that set can singlehandedly prevent something from passing.
b) If I understand this correctly, the quota is 2. 30 and 29, 30 and 28, and 29 and 28 are all pairs that can decide the result.
c) 13 is a dummy. No matter what other combination of votes occurs, what 13 does won't change the outcome.
