Keep Hope Alive?

In 2008 Angry Whites promised, PROMISED that a President Obama would be overly sympathetic to black people in all of his policies and decisions. My hope is fading and I may never trust the judgement of angry white people again.

Just over a year into his administration Obama has just named Elena Kagan his second appointment to the Supreme Court, his first being Sonia Sotomayor. I'm sure they are both very nice ladies, but they do not fulfill the prophecies. I feel took! Led astray! Hoodwinked! Bamboozled! And not necessarily in that order!

Based on the statements that Obama was a black racist I imagined an Obama Supreme Court looking like the above photo. And since I could not readily find a photo of nine robed black judges standing together, I am now imagining that an Obama Supreme Court would be trimmed down from nine justices to five. After all, black is slimming.

To do this, first Obama would have to find a glitch in the Constitution that allows him to fire all the current sitting justices. Then he would need to find another glitch allowing him to fill the slots as recess appointments getting around the Senate confirmation process.

The replacements would be (from left to right) His Honorable And Judicial Righteousness Bobby "Bo Bo" Simkins, Musheera Alia Yusef, Gladys Knight, Priestess Jones, and Jango.

They would become known as the Harlem Globetrotters of the bench because of their judicial skill, their crowd-pleasing antics, and the basketball trickery they display while hearing cases. Their theme would be the whistling of the Star-Spangled Banner. When the Senate returns from their recess to "put an end to this nonsense" their hands would be tied because Obama's Court would be so popular, disbanding the legally questionable quintet would surely be political suicide.

So much for that fantasy. I can't say I didn't see it coming. Sonia Sotomayor's appointment to the Court was supposed to supplant American jurisprudence with Puerto Rican power. Wordy decisions from the once erudite panel would be replaced with one of two verdicts: "Eees Okay" or "Oh no no no no." That didn't happen.

What will my next disappointment be? No replacing the U.S. Marines with the Fruit of Islam?
