Taco Bell has menu items that are more supreme than some court justices.
I’ll shamelessly re-boost this post every time we learn about a new Supreme Court justice misdeed, which seems to be most of the time.
@Alice the year is 2030. based on the acceleration in how often we learn a new terrible thing about SCOTUS, the majority of fediverse traffic is now boosts of Alice's taco bell supreme post.
@Alice You'll wear out your booster!
@Alice OMG. You might crash your instance’s server!
@Alice
You’ll be busy af
@Alice I would nominate Chief Justice Burrito Supreme
@hammancheez @Alice Crunchwrap Supreme is pretty good too. And has never taken bribes. Only caused some mild gastric distress.

@Alice

Very good chance they're better tasting as well.

@Alice Diana Ross eating taco bell with Sonya Sotomayor in chambers would be Supreme Supreme eating Fries Supreme with Supreme Justic at Supreme court.
@Alice The movie Idiocracy is aging quite well (unfortunately)

@Alice

My Taco Smell aftermath is more Supreme...

@Alice more Supreme but cheaper than a justice
@mainsac More supreme *and* cheaper than a justice.
@Alice a lawyer friend of mine once joked "The Supreme Court is just like a regular court, but with sour cream."
🤯 Suddenly Demolition Man makes more sense...
@Alice sour cream can only do so much
@grumpasaurus Have we tried that on justices?
@Alice

@Alice

When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are supreme court justices

@Alice and cause less gastronomical distress
@Alice also a better value
@Alice and, both can make you sick to stomach.
@Alice Being more intelligent than Clarence Thomas is nothing to write home about. He sets the bar, pun fully intended, very low.
@Alice
Are you saying that each justice would become more supreme if we just slathered some sour cream on them?
@Alice I'd like an Alito with sour cream please. Very very sour cream.
@Alice Their beef is mixed with cornmeal to make it go further; just like certain Supreme Court justices.
@Alice if they're called the *Supreme* Court, how come they don't have sour cream on them?
@capn_b They do, and it’s gotten REALLY sour.
@Alice Taco Bell has menu items that are »less corrupt« than some Supreme Court 'justices'. Think about that for a minute.
@Alice
RIGHT??!?
How would you like to be Sonia Sotomayor or Ketanji Brown Jackson??
You’re a serious and talented jurist, you’ve worked your whole life for the ultimate level of respect possible in your profession... And it comes in the form of being trapped on this clearly-illegitimate court ‘til you die.
You are somehow the equal of Justices Boof and Buffy... and Long Dong Silver. Seriously WTF must that feel like??
@TheCuznEd @Alice Incredibly frustrating I'm sure. But probably also a bit rewarding to be the only rational voices of dissent in each dissenting opinion: your words are marked permanently in judgement of the bullshit. Plus, knowing you're in the minority and that there's little you can do, you're a bit freer in your choice of words. Kagan, Sotomoyer and Brown have all been pretty blunt in some recent decisions, just barely calling the majority holders idiots, and the majority decision bullshit.
@TheCuznEd @Alice Also, Sotomayor and Kagan are only in their 60s, so they have at least 3-4 more presidential terms left in them. Brown is 52. Alito: 72, Thomas is 74. Keep putting Democrats in the White House and hope those two aren't up on their Polio vaccines or get rickets or something and Gorsuch gets hit by a bus and maybe...
@tezoatlipoca @Alice
Your first reply had me feeling *a bit* less pessimistic already, and then you put a bus-shaped cherry on top. 😋
@TheCuznEd @Alice Someone should remake Mean Girls but with Supreme Court justices. It focuses around our hero Katanji-Brown, a naive but wicked smaht up and coming progressive justice newly appointed to the highest court where using her charm and intelligence, gain allies, sway and influence, manages to beat the incumbent conservative majority at their own game. And then someone gets hit by a bus at the end.

@TheCuznEd @Alice SCENE - SCOTUS CAFETERIA

Thomas: sigh. I really am tired of these DingDongs.

Gorsuch: yeah, why are you eating those anyway

Thomas: they're to lose weight so I can fit into my summer house beach judicial robes. DUH.

Comey-Barret: uh no those are like 8000 calories. Each.

Thomas: <SCREAMS> I'LL KILL HER

@Alice Hopefully, they contain slightly less lead and mercury.

@Alice

Wife and I were discussing #Marvel movies, and playing "what if" the Ancient One chose Spiderman as the next Sorcerer Supreme instead of Strange. He had the right moral compass for the job.

And if Peter still had Spider powers, he would be the Spider Supreme!

Which we both decided would be the worst new Taco Bell item ever.

@pseudonym One of my favorite things about the #MCU is that it allowed What If... to be produced.

(IMHO a lot of the stories there are better than the feature length movies...)

@Alice I had that for dinner last night!! and yes that's true 🤣
@Alice I don’t get the hype. It’s just a regular court with sour cream and tomatoes.
@Alice And the Taco Bell items give me less gas!
@Alice lol love this 😀🤣
