\"SupremeNightCourt\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Washington, DC, sometime after midnight…a knock on the door.<\/em><\/p>\n

ROBERTS: What do you want?<\/p>\n

The sound of giggling.<\/em><\/p>\n

RBG: Oh, C’mon Johnny, it’s us. Let us in. We’ve got champagne!<\/p>\n

ROBERTS: Oh, no, you don’t! I’ve got an opinion to write. But I guess you three have gotta come in and taunt me.<\/p>\n

KAGAN (entering with two others<\/em>): You bet we do. But chin up, John, it’s not so bad this time. With Anthony and Stephen on our side, you’ve got plenty of cover. Besides, you never stood a chance.<\/p>\n

ROBERTS: Yeah, yeah, I know, and as much as I want to keep our 5-4 streak going, there’s no way I’m gonna be on the losing end of this deal…um, you okay, Sonia?<\/p>\n

SOTOMAYOR: Oh, I’m good. *HIC* Really good.<\/p>\n

ALL: HAHAHA<\/p>\n

ROBERTS: So anyway, here’s what I’m working on, what do you think of this: “Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to improve health insurance markets, not to destroy them. If at all possible, we must interpret the Act in a way that is consistent with the former, and avoids the latter.”<\/p>\n

RBG: Hey that’s pretty good! Who’s working on the dissent? Clarence?<\/p>\n

ROBERTS: Clarence who?<\/p>\n

ALL: HAHAHA…<\/p>\n

ROBERTS: No, no, I went around the offices earlier and I found a draft in Tony’s trash. Check this out: he’s calling the decision “interpretive jiggery pokery.”<\/p>\n

SOTOMAYOR: I’ll drink to that!<\/p>\n

RBG: Sonia!<\/p>\n

KAGAN: That’ll score a fist bump from O and FLOTUS…<\/p>\n

SOTOMAYOR: Hear, hear! *HIC*<\/p>\n

ROBERTS: Alright, alright, that’s enough, ladies. Take your bottle and get outta here. I got lots of work to do to get this thing ready for tomorrow.<\/p>\n

And Ruth, by the way, I don’t mind the whole Notorious thing, but do you have to call me Johnny in front of my whole team?<\/p>\n

RBG: Not the whole team, boss. I never call you that in front of Sam, or Tony, or Clarence.<\/p>\n

ROBERTS: Who’s Clarence?<\/p>\n

ALL: HAHAHAHAHA…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Washington, DC, sometime after midnight…a knock on the door. ROBERTS: What do you want? The sound of giggling.
