Judging a justice

IDS columnists decide if Alito should be confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court

Confirm\nWith Sandra Day O'Connor out of the way, the confirmation of Samuel Alito will allow the Supreme Court justices to finally fulfill their dream of forming a KC and the Sunshine Band cover band.\nThe controversy remains highly unpublicized, but Alito's main goal is to make the funktastic dream that lives in the hearts of all the justices a reality (excluding O'Connor, who does not share the dream). \nOnce you've reached a seat on the highest court in the land, where else can your legal achievements possibly go? Enter the Sunshine Band. Even Clarence Thomas and Ruth Bader Ginsburg have begrudgingly agreed to perform backup vocals.\nIt is a little known fact, and legal scholars can back me up on this, that "Shake Your Booty" is a musical tribute to constitutional law. A song that says the word "shake" 94 times and the word "booty" a stately 20 times is perhaps the best way to proclaim the importance of upholding the constitution and protecting the rights of all U.S. citizens.\nRecreating classic disco hits is in the best interest of our country and instrumental in the war on terror. How? Well, that's something the Senate needed to ask Alito.
