Rittenhouse case is going to be fodder for SNL.

Just a few things they can work on:

The judge's ringtone.

The judge helping the defense trying to disallow a simple zoom in of a video clip that would impeach Rittenhouse's testimony.

1. I hope not really

People died... hard to find any humor in that, even around the edges.

2. This judge might as well fly a confederate flag

and flash White Power hand signals to the little Incel twerp.

3. I doubt it.

SNL usually doesn't parody when there are deaths involved. They'll stay away. This case isn't funny.

4. Satire is a coping mechanism.

Those victims weren't even allowed to be called victims by this judge!

5. Especially, if more rioting occurs at the end...

I'm thinking no matter how it goes, I wouldn't want to be in Kenosha that week. I don't see snl touching this one.

6. That 'judge' deserves serious roasting

over a cold cold open.

10. It'd be in poor taste, if they use Rittenhouse

The Kavenaugh crying shit was hilarious.

In this, I don't think it'd leave the audience with a good feeling. This is, after all, an 18 year old. People are dead. And I know people with an ideological interest talk about him like he was burning crosses before he was out of diapers, but the whole situation is just inexpressibly sad.

However, if they stick to the attorneys and the judge, I could see it working. Especially with the ring tone. All the different song possibilities.

Why did the judge have his phone on? Once, ok. People forget to flick the switch. But phones and alarms kept going off. I have professors who send people out of class for the day and mark them absent for that shit. Can't manage that one in the courtroom?

11. I wonder if the judge did it one purpose?

You would think a competent judge would be disciplined enough to shut it off.

And, seriously, wouldn't a competent judge KNOW how to maintain the appearance of objectivity? Are we now in an era of factoring in politically motivated judges>
