Fashion Consultant to the Gods

So, I'm thinking---Sam Alito definitely has the makings of an ubersexual---brilliant, kind, and obviously confident in his sexuality, but he looks like a total wienie, let's face it.



So, I thought, to achieve a consummate ubersexuality, he might spruce up a little bit. A very cool facial hair statement, sometimes called a Van Dyke, might help.


Not. Bad.

Not bad at all.


Give the man a festive shirt and a decent tan, some pixelating to lend an air of mystery, and of course, some appropriate shades:




Yeah, baby. Ladies and gentlemen, the next Supreme Court Justice of these here United States. Destiny awaits, and rightfully trembles.

I smell opportunity for you here, TVD - truly an underserved market. Your timing, as usual, is impeccable as the A3G is out of the country for a while and won't be able to stop you from encroaching on her turf.

If I may make a branding suggestion - I'd tweak the name a little (definitely lose the 'Tom' - how Hilfiger pulled that off is beyond me) and go with 'von Dyke'.

Yep, get ready for the ultra-trendy hot "von Dyke" trucker hats.

Trucker hats? Absolutely. Ever since Rehnquist decided to kick it up a notch with those gold stripes on the robe, each justice has been scrambling to show a little more flava. (Rumour has it that O'Connor retired in a snit because she had planned on wearing the same thing.)

"Of course he looks great, he just got von Dyked. I mean look at that hat!"

I like it, fellas. I like it.

Scraggly? Scraggly????

Nay, nay---manly beard. Manly. Ubersexual beard. Bork would be on the court today if he'd got himself Von Dyked.

Connie,

Please correct me if I am wrong here...

Wasn't the legal question whether or not a doctor can prescibe illegal narcotics for the purposes of death?

Is it OK to break a federal law while following a state law?

As a judge, if you disagree with law A, and law A is an impediment to the implementation of law B, do you:

Uphold B owing to your disdain of A;

-or-

Honor A (even though you disagree with it) and repeal B?

To B or not to B, that is the question ...
