25. I'd bet the books are cheaper as well

Which would be a nice benefit.

Toobin makes so many good points in both his books and he continues to spur my interest in the Supreme Court. Personally I think Scalia's decision should be used as toilet paper as that is all they are worth. I'm not kidding the more I read about him the more he pisses me off. There is one part in the book that talks about Scalia making jokes during oral arguments and Roberts finally has to tell him to shut his yap.

Obama needs to start building for the court of the future by getting nominees appointed and purging the conservatives. That will take decades and a few more D presidents though.
