This is going to be awesome. Kind of reminds me of Michael Corleone talking with Clemenza before he goes after Sollozo and McCluskey.

The benches are going to clear...

I agree with Andrew Sullivan.:

"The glee with which the partisan right and left will now posture, the money that will be spent, the energies that will be expended - it's not a very edifying spectacle for the Supreme Court. I know it's just where we are, but could we have a little less Beltway glee about it? Conservatives who live for ideological battle, whose main disappointment with Roberts was that he didn't set the stage for a big ol' left-right fight, are not conservative in any meaningful sense. They're ideologues and fanatics. Same goes, of course, for the reflexive hostility on the left. Oh well. Here we go.
