Precedent Rating System
WASHINGTON, DC (Roto Reuters) During the confirmation hearings for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Senate Judiciary Committee, Arlen Specter, asked the likely future Chief Justice of the Supreme Court: "Would you think that Roe might be a super-duper precedent in light of in light of 38 occasions to overrule it?" His question elicited so much reaction by people that Arlen Specter has now proposed a new bill mandating ratings of legal precedents using the very same technical language he invoked. If the bill passes the Supreme Court will be required to to assign these technical legal terms to all cited precedents.

But wait, bills aren't supposed to pass the Supremo Court. They are supposed to rule according to the constitution....
Oh nevermind, I had dillusions that I was in the United States where we had a real constitution and all the branches of government followed it according to their limits.
Now THAT would be super-duper.
I laughed when I first heard Specter say that, and I laughed again when the Curt Jester published it!
Just below the "Superficial" precedent I believe is the "Mere Suggestion/DOTP*"
Do you think any of the supremes will actually write "super duper precedent" in their opinions? GINSBERG: "Because of the super duper precedent set in this case I..." SOUTER (interupts): "But it has not yet risen to the level of super DEE duper precedent!!"
*Depends On The Polls
Since my senior senator cited Scottish law as a precedent for his vote on the impeachment of Pres. Bill Clinton ("not proved"), maybe you should throw something noticably Scottish in there. :-)
super DEE duper? It's been years since I have watched Barney on TV but that word brings back the thinking of simple minds, the color purple, and dry cheerios.
You forgot "The Bee's Knees":
"While Blackmore vs. Wisconsin PTA" was the Bee's Knees, one cannot help but look to the super-duper LaForge v Pompadour to establish the normative treatment of takings within the establishment clause"
Ubi's and Lucy's posts reminded me that of course the "Kelo vs. New London" case was settled by the more fair "One Potata' - Two Potata'" system. However, I believe Justice Kennedy had his fingers crossed behind his back when he cast his assent. So this may be revisited again.
I'm certain Sen. Biden will remind us all of the "Touch, No Trade Backs" clause in the ever expanding freedoms found in the Constitution when he examines the next potential justice.
