            Can we at least update the description of Supreme Court Justice to remove impartiality and instead say something to the effect of ‘forces their will on people less fortunate?’

                I like the term ‘lawyer-deciders’ because what do you call a bus full of lawyers at the bottom of a lake?

                  A good start?

                  That’s not really fair, though. A lot of lawyers are fighting the good fight, such as environmental lawyers, those of the Southern Poverty Law Center, the ACLU and various other organizations who provide pro bono representation to those who couldn’t afford a good lawyer otherwise.

                    Fair sir. But these ones aren’t any different from others that also are disliked. They are just as corrupt and with more power so they’re even bigger dirt bags.

                    May they be used as examples of scum for all time immortal.

      I’m gonna put the odds at roughly 1000:1 that he does.

      Actually, there are betting sites for this that would be, supposedly, more accurate than I am at creating those odds. What are the odds on the betting sites?

      Edit: I’m not finding the odds…

      Edit 2: Apparently there are 5:1 odds on if he takes a plea bargain. I would have set those a bit higher since he is willing to settle cases, but I doubt he’s willing to accept jail time of any sort.
