This morning I dreamt that an old college roommate of mine was President and appointed his little sister to the Supreme Court, even though she hadn't even graduated from law school yet.
"I know her heart," he said. And oddly enough, that worked for people. She was confirmed immediately, despite the fact that she was very young, completely inexperienced and apparently not particularly bright.
She cut an attractive figured in her judicial robe, though. And I wondered in the dream whether if it was that simple. Maybe we're tired of having old people as our judges. It's time for a young, hip, attractive, court.
