Thanks for the nomination, generalissimo; if I hadn't already declared myself President I'd be delighted to serve on your supreme court! Although wajoma and I might waste a fair bit of time shouting at each other across the benches.

And yes, if I were persuaded that I should resign my high office, sh76 would make a fine President, although perhaps we'd ...[text shortened]... the best RHP President in the sense of being "a uniter, not a divider" would be melanerpes.
In all honesty, Mel would probably be a better fit than I due to his lack of partisanship; but of course, that very factor means he'd never win the primary! 😉

My tripartisan Court, putting aside myself for the moment:

Lean right:

Spruce112358
Sleepyguy
Generalissimo

Middle:

Melanerpes
Teinosuke
Palynka (yes, even though we got into a bit of a scuffle last week)

Left:

KazetNagorra
No1marauder (he should be good for a few entertaining scathing dissents, anyway)
Rwingett


If Telerion or FMF ever come back, they deserve seats too. There are also plenty more that I didn't mention (and I apologize to those I left out) who also deserve seats, but hey, there's only nine available.

Here's my list.

CHIEF prn (drafted against his will) or bbarr

OTHERS no1, generalissimo, terrierjack, melenarpes, sh76, rwingett, usaparatrooper, Bosse de Nage

Honorable mention: FMF - but he'd just filibuster everything and troll the other judges for fun.

EDIT

teinosuke, DRkf, kmax87

Good choices G.
But DrKF, FMF, and FabF are members of the trio in F major and would have to be nominated as a team: God forbid.

These are all posters who seem to think before they write and are amenable to evidence, which seems ...[text shortened]... lebots and whodeys of this world will do the best to derail the confirmation process anyway.

Wouldn't you consider including whodey, considering he represents the ignorant masses? Surely you wouldn't him and others grumbling about the elitism of the Court. 😉

I'm finding it interesting that both sides want a somewhat neutral court. I suppose it stems from fear of courts gone wild and justices being able to sit basically forever.
