each other.

And it's going

to prevent Hugo

from shouting

out,

"Pardon me?

Pardon me?"

every 10

minutes, eh?

That's a very good

idea, Warren.

Yes, as it was mine, I

thought it was very good.

Sir, sir,

if you please.

you're seated

there, sir.

One black man,

8 white men,

average age 71.

Gentlemen, please join me in

welcoming Harry to the Court.

Aw.

Welcome, Harry.

Cheers, Harry.

Welcome.

Harry Blackmun

and Warren Burger.

The Minnesota twins.

They grew up

together.

When Burger got married,

Blackmun was his best man.

That's why Nixon

appointed him.

He's gonna vote with

Burger every time.

Hip-pocket Harry.

When President Nixon

nominated my friend Warren

Chief Justice,

a staunch defender

of our Constitution,

I thought he couldn't

have made a better choice,

and his first year

on the Court

has proven the

President correct.

to Warren. To Warren.

Hear, hear, Warren.

I don't know. What Presidents

expect of their Justices

and what those

Justices deliver

can be two very

different things.

Better get

started, boys.

There's more on the way.

I got a threesome

here, guys.

3 chicks.

Wait, what's

that about?

Porno cases.

Every Friday afternoon,

the Justices

sneak down to the basement

to watch dirty movies.

They're looking

for a case to hear

so they can test

the obscenity laws.

But it's more an excuse

to have a good time.

Hey. Clay, a. k. a. Ali, versus

the United States of America.

Oh, the draft

dodger.

Isn't he

in jail yet?

Hey. Ali's back up the ladder!

Float like

a butterfly,

sting like

a bee!

Justice Brennan, sir.

Ooh. I was not expecting

this. Not at all.

But sir, this case has already

been before the Court, hasn't it?

It was turned down flat.

I was the only one who

voted to hear this case.

They told me I was

off on a cloud.

It was sent back down

to a lower court.

So, why is it back up?

Ali's lawyers challenged

the lower court hearing.

He's free to appeal again.

Operation Stealth Attack.

Go find out what

the others are thinking

and report back

to me.

I'm guessing Hugo Black and

Bill Douglas will be on our side.

Don't bother with the

Chief and Harry Blackmun.

We know what

position they'll take.

These days, Ali's

a hero for taking a stand.

People are not

going to like it

if we send him

to jail.

This time around,

let's see who's

off on a cloud.

Ha ha ha.

How can a man, any man,

regardless of color,

turn around when he is called

to serve for his country

and say, "Hell, no, I won't go"?

It's

the White House, sir.

Thank you, Janet.

Chief Justice Burger here.

Mr. President.

I just don't think

I should go 10,000 miles

and shoot some

black people that
