If We Could Only Get Alito to Play This Game...
2005.11.04 (Fri) 09:02

Interested in knowing how various Supreme Court Justices ruled on some recent and important cases, but too busy to read through all those overly verbose opinions? Then play the ACLU's Justice Match game online!

Find your court date! (Eww)

In the game, various scenarios are presented, such as:

Should gay people face imprisonment for private acts of sexual intimacy?

Then, when you select "No," you'll see that all of the justices except Scalia, Thomas, and Rehnquist agreed with your point of view in Lawrence v. Texas. If you select "Yes" on this particular issue then we'd like you to leave our site. Now.

Now if only we could get Alito to play a round of Justice Match while one of us looks over his shoulder. Who needs a litmus test?!

Yes to the question posed ONLY if "imprisonment" means light bondage and the arresting officer is said person's life partner in a really provocative cop outfit.
Fun, fun game! I've already emailed the link around the office and single handedly lowered production by almost 50% across the board!

I start getting Brady Bunch flashbacks if I play too long.

Cute... and scary.

And that is the problem.

We have the wrong people making decisions in the country.

I nominate 2% for Supreme Court Justice!

Wait, how do you win?

But seriously, it was interesting to see whom voted what for what.

Fan-man: See, we never looked at imprisonment in that light. Once again, the importance of context shines through.

HBloom: As soon as you make it to the White House, we'll gladly accept the nomination. Somehow, though, we doubt we'd make it past the Senate confirmations — something about repeatedly referring to most of the senators as morons. It would be nice, though, to know exactly where court nominees stand on assorted issues — and with us, every position is spelled out clearly for all the world to read.

S.T.R.: As far as we can tell, the goal of the game is to somehow get Thomas and Scalia to follow Rehnquist's example and, er, "leave" the bench. Of course, timing is important — you have to do it at the precise moment when there's not an idiot in the Oval Office — so good hand-eye coordination is a must, and patience is a bonus (it might take a while). Oh, and the end guy is hard. Good luck!
