Sexuality of Supreme Court justices:There's been some whispering about who is what and I think it's time to set the record "straight" on this issue. Should the court have a gay justice? To answer this burning question, we need look no further than the
village people.
The Village People consisted of a:
- police officer
- Native American
- cowboy
- biker
- construction worker
- GI
True, there was an admiral and sailor for "In the Navy" (more on that below), but
never a justice in robes.They sang a song, Y.M.C.A., but
never S.C.O.T.U.S.They also had a hit with "In the Navy", but
they never sang "On the Bench" (although maybe they
wanted to be).
These facts speak for themselves. I consider this matter closed.

But SC(R)OTUS* members all dress alike in black robes whereas the Village People are individually distinct in dress.
*the (R) is for "Rightwing"
Can you imagine SC(R)OTUS* singing "A.C.L.U." in similar fashion to the Village Peoples' "Y.M.C.A" up in arms in their robes? (I can imagine Roberts, Alito, Scalia, Thomas and Kennedy up in Second Amendment arms.)
*the (R) is for "Rightwing"
No, but I can imagine Roberts, Alito, Scalia, Thomas and Kennedy breaking away from SC(R)OTUS and cutting their own single: "A.C.L.J."*
The B-side would be a cover of the Beatles' "Happiness is a Warm Gun."
They'd call themselves "The Supremes," but, well, you know...
*American Center for Law & Justice, Pat Robertson's wingnut alternative to the ACLU.
