If I think about this, it will ruin rock and roll for me forever.
I'm thinking they were a Rush tribute band. Maybe called "Tom Sawyer" or something.
Band:
Judge Dredd and The Moral Authority
Album:
Fables of Strict Constructionism
Too bad "Anal Cunt" is already taken.
7: ditto "My Penis Is Made of Dogshit".
This is freaking me out. Souter didn't own a cell-phone, answering, machine or television. He may have not needed music, and none may be appropriate. When Souter was in his natural New Hampshire habitat he would go to sleep to the crickets and owls, and the bluebirds would pull back his covers in the morning.
So "Grantchester Meadows" or the Heron album, the duo (not Mike), which was recorded with ambient songbirds by leaving the windows open.
Incidentally, WTF
Too bad "Anal Cunt" is already taken.
Scalia's band could do covers of their songs, though.
for example:
"Women: Nature's Punching Bag"
"Sweatshops Are Cool"
"Dictators Are Cool"
"Deadbeat Dads Are Cool"
"Being Ignorant Is Awesome"
"Laughing While Leonard Peltier Gets Raped in Prison"
"I Got An Office Job For The Sole Purpose Of Sexually Harrassing Women"
Scalia's band: rhinolotrimin.
5 is the best pseud since "Teary Ennui". And that was only reported, not spotted in the wild.
I was imagining a Creed-style band too, but struggled to come up with an appropriate name.
Bizarro-world Scalia's punk ensemble are The Proximate Casualties
More importantly, this presents a fresh opportunity for me to express my love for Dahlia Lithwick.

Screed.
Alternately: "Foul Mouthed Glitteratae: A Tribute to Creed".
23: I wondered about his using "glitteratae." I can't imagine that Scalia doesn't know some Latin. Why the feminine plural, Nino? Why? (I actually suspect he did it for a mocking show of gender inclusivity.)
The Equal Protection Clause -- but they'll only play in Florida.
26: big show-stopping number "My Precedent Don't Bind".
"I got a one-time kind of feeling
If f you follow my meaning
Laydee-heeeeeeeeez"
29/30: "The precedent don't bind -- but I do . . ."

No more masturbating to Jack Kemp.

I figured it was more "haha, I know how 'ae' should be pronounced in Latin and you don't, you undereducated fucks".
The New Originalists
Their Satanic Majesties Request
"Justice During Wartime"
"I Was Right"
"White Riot"
"Under My Thumb"
"Hurts So Good (Ode to a Cilice)"
"Once in a Lifetime"
"Cruel to be Kind"
"Liar, Liar"

New Hampshire is kind of like that. It's hard to ignore.
|| I have bragged to my law-student brother that I am in casual contact with the finest legal minds to which God has granted such free time. He, unsure and in a frenzy of post final anxiety, asked me this:
Joe bought a used refrigerator from Fred by giving Fred a promissory note for $750. Fred then gave the note to Jim as a gift for his birthday. Joe discovers the refrigerator is a piece of junk and refuses to pay. Does Jim qualify as a holder in due course?
Can you help a brother out?

I'd have to look it up, but I don't think so -- IIRC, a holder in due course has to take in good faith, which Jim has, and for consideration, which he didn't. But the last time I looked at this issue was January 2004-- I may have forgotten completely.
No more masturbating to Jack Kemp.
How deeply is the NYT captured by the right? When I went to their front page 3 minutes ago and saw a pic of Kemp with a blurb about his legacy of "calling for steep tax cuts," I simply assumed it was a laudatory Sunday piece about this giant among us.
Ack! KommerKe Klause!

A quick search on the byline of the obit reveals.

Jack Kemp: Wide and to the right.

Well, he did play for the Bills, he did represent Buffalo in NYS. And essentially he had no absolutely no impact except as a carrier of the Laffer virus.
How deeply is the NYT captured by the right?
Which right? The neo-Confederate Southern Baptist right? The Sagebrush going-to-live-in-the-trees-with-my-guns right? The hillbilly don't-like-them-Muslins right? None of those.
Now, the rich-people-are-really-important-and-deserve-a-break-from-bureaucratic-oppression right, the NYT is totally up those guy's asses. Those guys actually pay money for the NYT.

['Jack Kemp: reasonable Republican.']
This is worth applauding:
Mr. Kemp was a founder and president of the A.F.L. Players Association. In January 1965, he supported a boycott of an all-star game in New Orleans by the league's black players after they had been barred from nightclubs and cabs in the city. Mr. Kemp helped get the game moved to Houston, where the black players participated.
And this is just amusing:
Mr. Kemp's final turn on the national stage came as Mr. Dole's vice-presidential candidate in 1996. It was a surprising choice. The two men differed on economic policy: Mr. Dole advocated balanced budgets; Mr. Kemp wanted tax cuts and did not worry about deficits. They also disliked each other. In one exchange, in 1985, Mr. Dole said, "Kemp wants a business deduction for hair spray." Mr. Kemp retorted: "In a recent fire, Bob Dole's library burned down. Both books were lost. And he hadn't even finished coloring one of them."
I was surprised about Kemp as I had thought of him as on the young side for politicians. Turns out he was over 60 in 1996 - so I guess it was the contrast with Dole.
