[Skittles]

4. what made her fuck America in 2000?

[Bluebear]

5. I hope he asks her

about the Caperton vs Massey case that she apparently attended today. It's the case that John Grisham based his book The Appeal on.

Big picture:

Justice Brent Benjamin of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia refused to recuse himself from the appeal of the $50 million jury verdict in this case, even though Don Blankenship, the CEO of the lead defendant, spent $3 million supporting his campaign for a seat on the court--more than 60% of the total amount spent to support Justice Benjamin's campaign--while preparing to appeal the verdict against his company. After winning election to the court, Justice Benjamin cast the deciding vote in the court's 3-2 decision overturning that verdict. The question presented is whether Justice Benjamin's failure to recuse himself from participation in his principal financial supporter's case violated the Due Process Clause of the fourteenth Amendment.

10. As must as I love Jon, he lets me down on occasion....

perhaps it was pre-condition of her coming on his show....but there was no mention of the BIG question.

11. She won't answer questions about past cases, period.

I saw her speak at school last year--she's actually pretty funny. But she won't talk about past cases (from what I gather, most judges won't).

12. When we look back on time, it was her decision which was

the deciding one (B v G). I honestly don't think there's any way this lady ever gets a good nights sleep and karma is just around the corner....
