Top 10 Changes A Catholic Majority Would Make To The Supreme Court

(Hat tip: Southern Appeal)

Benedict Blog speculates about the changes in store for the Supreme Court should Sam Alito be confirmed, giving the Court a Catholic majority:

10) Meat-less Fridays all year round in the Supreme Court cafeteria;

9) Oral arguments in Latin;

8) The bones of Chief Justice Marshall will be disinterred and placed in a glass coffin in the center of the Supreme Court bench;

7) Collections between each session of oral argument;

6) Supreme Court windows replaced with stained glass;

5) On close votes, the Justices will consult a statue of St. Thomas More. If the statue weeps, they affirm; if no tears, then they reverse.

4) Incense at the start of each session;

3) Supreme Court opinions will be deemed infallible and unreviewable by any earthly authority [Ed. - Sorry -
that does not appear to be a change at all]

2) Catechism of the Catholic Church will now be "persuasive authority";

And, the number one change which a Catholic majority would make to the Supreme Court . . .

1) Wednesday night bingo!

As the blog further notes, this Catholic angle to the Alito nomination is quite a hot topic right now:

Other bloggers examining the Catholic angle to the Alito nomination include Maggie Gallagher at the Institute for Marriage and Public Policy here; Eduardo Penalver at Mirror of Justice here; Sydney Carton at Aggressive Conservative (see Update 4 to this post); Jacob at Vatican Watcher here; Steve at Secure Liberty here; and Justin at The New Crusader here. As you might expect, the topic is also being discussed at Amy Welborn's Open Book here.

But as I stated yesterday, I think the religious makeup of the Supreme Court is virtually meaningless.
