Irreverent nicknames for Supreme Court Justices
All right, let’s have a little fun and a few laughs. I know this is irreverent and disrespectful, but I have little respect for any of the Justices. I know the stuffed shirts, and Supreme Court idolaters will not be pleased, but there must be a few people out there with a sense of sarcastic humor.
The Justices already have in-court nicknames, but let’s have some fun and make up some new ones.
CJ John, “Rehnquist II,” Roberts (or “the Charmer”)
Clarence “19th Century” Thomas (or “Big Mouth”)
Antonin, “The Originalist,” Scalia (or “the Professor,” “the Scourge” [of oral argument])
Samuel, “Attila,” Alito.
Stephen “the Huckster” Breyer
Sonya,“Wise Latina,” Sotomayor
Elena, “Ivory Tower,” Kagan
Ruth Bader, Sourpuss” Ginsburg, and finally, my favorite Justice
Anthony “The trapeze artist” Kennedy (or “How much am I bid”)
We certainly can’t let Stevens get by even though he has retired:
John Paul “way past retirement” Stevens.
