Supreme Court Adventures, Pt. 1

Pardon the slow posting; it's finals time, and I'm in a foul mood, even for a crocodile. But every once in a while I see something that cheers me up, like strong indications that Thurgood Marshall was the Liberal Larry of the Supreme Court. For example:

"In my view, every citizen who applies for a government job is entitled to it unless the government can establish some reason for denying the employment." (from Board of Regents of State Colleges v. Roth, 1972).

If you aren't paying attention, you can totally miss the satire.
