I Love Being a White Christian Male

It's so nice that I will have yet another representative of my people on the Supreme Court of the Unites States of America (assuming Judge John Roberts Jr. will be confirmed). There was all this speculation leading up to the Bush's announcement that Herr President would replace O'Connor, the first woman ever nominated to the Supreme Court, with another woman. Laura Bush seemed to think that was a good idea. In fact, 8 out of 10 people polled recently thought replacing O'Connor with another woman was a good idea. It seemed like such a good idea that yesterday every news station in America seemed to think that Bush was about to do just that, reporting the Judge Edith Clement of Louisiana as the heir apparent. Bush then laid all those suspicions to rest and nominated a 50 year old white male.

Well, thank god for that! The last thing we need on the court is another uppity woman helping to make decisions that affect women. I mean come on! We put a black up there (of course he does his best to vote with the white men), and we're doing our best to represent octengenarians and baby boomers both, what more do these people want? The supreme court was proposed, developed and perfect by white men. White men have sat on it for nigh on 200 years and they's brought us such diverse success as Plessy vs Ferguson AND Brown vs the Board of Education.

In the days to come both the democrats and the republicans will tell us how we should feel about Judge Roberts, a man with a 2 year history on the district court of appeals, who was nominated twice before for the same job but never received a vote, and whose most famous case so far seems to be upholding an arrest of a 12 year old girl for eating a french fry in a subway station. Certainly the rightys will say he's a fine example of american justice. Certainly the leftys will say he's going to send america back twenty years in its development as a progressive nation. For now let's just applaud what we know for certain, he's a bona fide WHITE CHRISTIAN MALE with a TRADITIONAL FAMILY. Well done, Herr President, well done. Long live the ascendent ones. Long live the majority. Long live the Reich.
