WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) As Justice Antonin Scalia weighed in on same-sex marriage at the United States Supreme Court on Tuesday, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg interrupted the proceedings by announcing, Someone wake me up when he stops talking.
There was stunned silence in the courtroom after the pronouncement by Justice Ginsburg, who had been visibly nodding off during Scalias remarks, her head jerking upward violently at various junctures.
Look, its not like hes going to say anything on this subject that I havent heard him say nine zillion times before, she said. Im gonna get me some shut-eye.
Having completed her remarks, Ginsburg moved down the bench to what she called my favorite quiet place, next to Justice Clarence Thomas, and fell soundly asleep.

his job is to look stoically ahead, dream of Long Dong Silver, keep his mouth glued shut, and then rubber stamp the Republicans.
