RE: "The Supreme Court"


I once had the chance to sit in on a hearin before the Supreme Court of the United States of America, and I learned quite a few things that I didn't know. First I learned that there are nine of them, but all of them ain't awake at the same time. There was one who slept through the whole thing (ain't mentionin no names, but some call him CT). The second thing that I learned was that they ain't always polite to the folks speakin to them, cause they keep interuptin with one question after another, sometimes before the one in front of them has even had a chance to answer the first question. Course, I don't mind them bein in-polite much, since the ones standin in front of them is lawyers, and I ain't got much use for lawyers at all.

Now back in 1911 there was a big case before the court involvin the big oil business.
It was Standard Oil vs. the United States. The Chief Justice was a man named Edward Douglass White. Mr. White was from Thibodaux, Louisiana and had been an officer in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, so he couldn't be all bad. He was Chief Justice from 1910 til 1921.
In those days we was all scared of the big corporations takin advantage of the citizens. (sound familiar?) Well the court ruled that Standard Oil could not have the whole U.S. oil business just for themselves., so they had to break up into smaller companies which still controlled more than 75% of the business. These days we got about four big companies controllin most of the oil business, along with about four big banks, and about four big stock market companies. These are of course, controlled by about four million lawyers, and what with most of the Supreme Court Justices bein lawyers themselves, you ain't got much of a chance if you ain't one yourself.

Now you realize that most of them Skunks (Republicans) and Polecats (Democrats) up in DC are lawyers don't you? When I was up in DC watchin the court, there was people scurrin around all over town, and I was wonderin to myself, "how many of them was lawyers?" Just imagine if all lawyers was banned from DC, how deserted would the place be? One thing is for sure, I bet we would get a lot of work done! Vote for Bascomb Biggers for President of these United States of America. I ain't no lawyer.
