With Souter Out, Could Rawlinson Be In?

Now that Justice Souter has announced his retirement, could President Obama possibly nominate 9th Circuit Judge (and former Clark County Assistant DA) Johnnie B. Rawlinson to fill his seat? MSNBC seems to think it is a possibility, as they have placed Rawlinson on their short list of possible replacements.

If the President is going to fish in the 9th Circuit for this nomination, we would prefer that he cast his line a little more to the right and go with the real pick ... Bybee.

However, as we all know, this nominee is going to be chosen based upon what they have between their legs, not their ears. This anonymous commenter on the ATL post about Souter's replacement pretty much nailed it:
It is undeniable that a vagina is a primary qualification for the SCOTUS. That just makes sense. However, some women have a condition called didelphic uterus, which results in - wait for it - TWO vaginas.

Can you imagine the power of a two-vaginaed Justice? She would be undefeatable in the political correctness rock-paper-scissor calculations made in modern liberal thought, where her double barreled crotch shotgun would double not only her female qualifications, but perhaps even count as a physical disability. Can you imagine?! Better still, if we were able to find such a woman who was of a pre-approved minority (African-American, Hispanic, and/or Native American), her qualifications would stack up like some sort of fucking appointee Voltron.

I hereby petition Obama to divert all funds not previously diverted from National Defense into searching for such a candidate and, if possible, somehow wrestling her overpowered frame into a cage for shipment to the SCOTUS.
Please Note: We are in no way insinuating that Judge Rawlinson has two hoo-hoos ... just that it may help her chances of securing the nomination if she does.

  1. Rawlinson is a really nice lady. She is about as genuinely qualified to be a U.S. Supreme Court Justice as my kid's pet hamster is. She does not have the Cosntitutional chops to sit on the big bench. Obabma will know that.

    Obama will probably pick a woman, that woman will probably have a left-of-center bent, and she might even be black; but make no mistake, whoever he picks will be the smartest person in the room during the Senate confirmation hearings. Obama will not nominate a lightweight like Harriet Meiers for the Court.

  2. I would agree with everything no. 1 said, except perhaps be a little more blunt: Rawlinson was barely qualified to be a federal district court judge, let alone a circuit level judge. She really is known as one of the less astute circuit level judges on the 9th Circuit, and was really only appointed to that bench due to the color of her skin, sorry to say. It would be patently absurd for her to advance any further than she already unjustly has...

  3. I wonder if either of the politically correct US Senators who endorsed Rawlinson for the Federal bench because she was black and a woman would want to have a delicate medical procedure performed on himself or a member of his family by a doctor who got into med school because she was black and a woman.

    We should not be filling these important positions with people who meet two diversity categories but posess only minimal qualification otherwise.

  4. It's gratifying to see that the comments to this blog post have elevated the level of discourse on the issue from truly vulgar to merely inane. I find it telling that of the 300 responses to the ATL poll referenced, Mr. Law should hone in on this bit of misogynistic trash. It's enough to make moderate, decent-minded folk think the radical feminists might have a point. Eve Ensler, are you still looking for material?

    Never mind that Mr. Law and his ATL cohort apparently lack the most basic knowledge of the female reproductive system. (Umm, there's a difference between a uterus and a vagina, although with a source like the British tabloid The Sun, who needs Grey's Anatomy?) And forget the fact that if you follow the link to The Sun article, you'll see it's dated October 16, 2007--our ATL friend has apparently been keeping this one in a back pocket, just waiting for the chance to lob it into the blogosphere.

    The point is, regardless of one's opinion about any of the potential candidates to replace Souter, they all deserve to be treated with more dignity than this--yes, even the ones who happen to be women.
