This morning, President Obama has appointed Lawrence Fudglestien to the Supreme Court bench replacing Hon. Ottatuch, who has elected to retire from the bench.
‘Lawrence is a man of fine character, a pillar of the DC community.’ President Obama was quoted, ‘His appointment to the Bench took into consideration such attributes as his integrity, fair thinking, fair dealings and his overwhelming support for a practical method of analysis of the lay, day to day applications of serious issues brought to the Supreme Court.’
Fudglestien was unavailable for comment this morning, but sources close to the new Supreme Court Justice say that he was taken by surprise by the nomination.
While largely unknown outside of Washington DC, Fudglestien has close ties with both sides of politics Some have voiced opposition, including Senator Ewan Evrymuffa (R. Nevada), ‘Sure he’s a nice guy, has some interesting things to say, but he runs a hot-dog stand just outside of Capitol Hill. Is he really qualified?’
Not all disagree with the appointnent. Igor Rant, lining up for a hot-dog at Lawrence’s old stand couldn’t be more supportive, ‘Obama wants practical, day to day type judgements. What better way to be practical than having never been inside a courtroom before?’ Not to be left out, Joseph King jokingly interjected ‘except for that indecent exposure charge – putting his old fella in a hot dog bun, hilarious. But seriously, we’re all glad he’s not here anymore, he makes a really cr.p hot-dog anyway.’
Will President Obama’s risk in a hot-dog vendor cum Supreme Court Justice pay off? Can practical, day-to-day judgements have an effect on America?
Only time, and mustard will tell.
