The Announcement that Chief Justice William Rehnquist Has Cancer
by Matthew Tobu


With the announcement that terror-cells in his body have attacked him with thyroid cancer, Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist has the whole country speculating whether or not he’ll soon be stepping down with the highest judicial body in these United States. The list of possible replacements is a long one and many of the potential nominees are downright surprising.

Pete Rose
One of the finest players to swing a bat, Rose’s legacy as a ballplayer was forever tarnished when he was caught gambling on baseball, but what of his career as a justice? Rose received high marks from critics for his work as head judge in the 2003 Nokia/Quizno’s Presents The World’s Silliest Mustache Contest. However, with the fast-paced ever-burgeoning world of high-stakes federal court decision gambling, the fear that Rose could break a four-to-four tie by thinking with his billfold could spell disaster for the justice system.

Baby Jessica
After winning the hearts of young and old nearly two-decades ago with her adorable well-falling-into skills, the appointment of Baby Jessica to the Supreme Court would definitely be a hit with the public. Unfortunately, her longtime feud with Antonin Scalia would bring personal issues into the courtroom and their cattiness could hold up decisions indefinitely.

Every Zipper in Tulsa, Oklahoma
Respected by politicians on both side of the aisle for his fair and wise decisions as the Chief Justice of the Oklahoma Supreme Court as well as a 265th Circuit Federal Judge, Every Zipper in Tulsa, Oklahoma would not only glide through the confirmation process but would provide much needed balance to a split bench. However, unbeknownst to most, Every Zipper in Tulsa, Oklahoma has skeletons aplenty in his closet. They’re in the deepest darkest recesses of the closet, from when Every Zipper in Tulsa, Oklahoma was just a fun-loving kid who never wanted any trouble, but before he knew it found himself in over his head, but they’re there, and, believe me, they’ll come out. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday. A2P
