Late night open thread

So Supreme Court Justice David Souter is retiring according to NPR, opening up a spot on the high court. Did you know there is absolutely NO official qualification test or standard for someone to be nominated to the Supreme Court? It's true. Other offices have pre-set rules such as age, birthplace, etc. Anyone can be nominated to the Supreme Court of the United States of America. We were discussing this in a late night editorial/pizza eating/hockey watching meeting in the Jersey City Desk offices tonight. Intern and dancer (exotic not ballet) Kiki had a suggestion as to whom President Barack Obama should nominate. She thinks New Jersey should get some love (Actually MORE love as Antonin Scalia is a Trenton native) on the high court. Her suggestion?

Associate Justice Jon Bon Jovi! The first Supreme Court justice to be called "Hawt!!".


Time for Jersey City, After Dark

  3. Last year I finally realized what I wanted to be when I grew up - a Supreme. I thought I had no chance, having started work on it 45 years too late. You've given me hope again...
    I am officially throwing my hat into the ring, (sorry JBJ) but I can really taste it. Vote for me and I'll set you free.
    Cheers,
    Stell

    We wish YOU all the luck in this!
