(18,402 posts)Remember? Denny Crane is dying from Alzheimer's, and he wants to leave his money to set up a legal-aid foundation. For reasons too complicated to explain, the only way he can do this with the assurance his wishes will be properly carried out, is to marry his drinking and cigar-smoking buddy Alan Shorr so he can leave his all his money to him. Why not, Shorr says. But there's an injunction. And eventually, off they go to the Supreme Court, where all the questions about procreation and all that are soundly put to rest. And you don't have to even "love" each other, because no one asks that question of straight people when they apply to get married.
Yay, they win the case and plan their wedding in Maine. And who do they get for the judge to perform the ceremony? Antonin Scalia, of course!!
It was a great show, and I don't know why we need to reargue this at the Supreme Court again.
