And She's Out of There Fast, Folks
Wonkette's judicial perigrination operative reports from DCA:
SDO is on Northwest Flight 779 to Minneapolis. Just saw her preboard The former justice, surrounded by Secret Service-type no necks, took a cell phone call before disappearing down the jetway. Is this how leading jurists make their exists?
Hmmm, well, as we keep hearing on the news,there is no set protocolfor how a justice chooses to leave the bench. Sandra Day, classy to end, goes with the subtle and probably frugal (bought that ticket with miles!) route. For Gilbert-and-Sullivan fanboy Rehnquist, on the other hand, we're expecting something a little flashier, hopefully involving lots of gold lamé and Clarence Thomas in drag.— WONKETTE
