Justices making Funnies
Mocking the internet's futility makes me love it all the more.
AMAZING! HILARITY! This is from a Supreme Court Hearing today on Strip Searches in Schools for Drugs:
There were flashes of humor during the serious arguments.
Justice Antonin Scalia apparently discovered that children sometime sniff permanent markers looking for a high as he questioned why the school confiscated them. "They sniff them?" Scalia said.
"That's what kids do, your honor, unfortunately," Wright said.
"Really?" Scalia said.
And Justice Stephen Breyer can expect years of teasing after a misstatement as he was trying to point out that it might not be unusual for children to hide things from teachers in their underwear.
"In my experience when I was 8 or 10 or 12 years old, you know, we did take our clothes off once a day, we changed for gym, OK? And in my experience, too, people did sometimes stick things in my underwear." Breyer hesitated as he realized what he said as the courtrooom erupted in laughter.
He quickly recovered and added: "Or not my underwear. Whatever. Whatever."
It makes me so happy that this is part of our national Supreme Court Transcripts forevermore. Amen.
