A smiling Alito, who was the most junior justice until Sotomayor was sworn in to office last month, said Sotomayor has two main duties as the newest member.
She must open the conference door at the Supreme Court when someone knocks on it, Alito said. There are no staff members allowed at these conferences, and sometimes, a Supreme Court official will knock on the door to deliver a message, he said.
Former Justice Stephen Breyer presumably had a lot of doors to open when he was the junior justice from August of 1994 until January of 2006.
Sotomayor must also keep the vote count when justices are deciding whether to take a case, Alito said.Fraternities got the idea of hazing from the Supreme Court. Rumor has it Ginsberg gave Sotomayor shit for not being able to do a keg stand for more than 35 seconds too, whereas Ruth’s record remains 2 mins 46 secs. “You drink like a girl,” Ginsberg was overheard saying in Conference.
Reminds me of my one act play about Sotomayor getting excluded from the activities of the other justices.
