The Eyes of the Law: Justices Souter and Sotomayor
Justice David H. Souter may be gone from the Supreme Court, but he has not been forgotten. He still gets recognized in public, for example. From an ATL reader in Beantown:
After a day of toil for a client adamantly opposed to paying for nighttime cab rides home, I walked to Boston’s Park Street subway station. A little before 10:00 PM last night, as I turned the corner at the turnstiles, I saw an impeccably dressed man in a form-fitting suit and a red tie. Turns out it was Justice David Souter, in Boston for some pinch-hitting on the First Circuit.
So what did our tipster do next?
I approached him and had a brief, exceedingly-pleasant conversation. I thanked him for his years of service, to which he replied he needed no thanks because he had “the greatest job in the world.”
Great, friendly, unassuming, approachable guy… whom no one else noticed, even though he was in the station for at least 20 minutes. Although I understand he prefers rustic to ragin’, he did seem to deeply enjoy the busker in the T station. Unfortunately for him, his personal concert was eventually overrun by a number of Bruins fans returning from a disappointing night at the Garden.
Meanwhile, Souter’s successor, Justice Sonia Sotomayor — who is known for going out on the town — was spotted over the weekend dining out with gal pals at one of the city’s 100 best restaurants. From a D.C. area tipster, shortly before 10 p.m. on Saturday night:
Sotomayor just rolled in to Rays the Classics with her crew of ladies. Chowing down on big steaks.
More details:
Ten women. Sotomayor was in a black coat. She ordered a big steak and wine was flowing.
An all-girl band? Sounds a bit Belizean Grove.
We’re glad to hear, though, that Justice Sotomayor — who has already confessed her appreciation for pork, “the other white meat” — eats red meat as well. People on her side of the SCOTUS are more likely to eat tofu burgers.
Could the carnivorous Justice Sotomayor turn into a “reverse Souter” someday? Feel free to encourage this by sending her some frozen steaks in the mail: One First Street NE, Washington, DC 20002.

19 Senators Who Ought to Be Jobless
Lamar Alexander, John Barasso, Bob Bennett, Jim Bunning, Richard Burr, Tom Coburn, Bob Corker, John Cornyn, Mike Crapo, Jim DeMint, John Ensign, Mike Enzi, Judd Gregg, Orrin Hatch, Mike Johanns, Mitch McConnell, James Risch, Jeff Sessions and John Thune. Those are the guys who decided Tuesday night that Americans limping along on meager unemployment benefits apparently are, in the word chosen by Nevada Rep. Dean Heller, “hobos.” They all voted against extending those benefits.
If you’re drawing such benefits in Tennessee, Kentucky, Wyoming, Utah or Idaho, you have both of your Senators to thank for telling you to get off the dole and get a job ya lazy bum. Yep. Who would want to work instead of enjoying all that these magnificent government checks will buy? It’s such a cush life on the $275 weekly maximum you can draw from unemployment coffers if you live in Tennessee, where the jobless rate is 10.9%. If it’s you, your spouse and a couple of kids in the family, those benefits will put you $8,000 below the federal poverty line.
That is, if you were lucky enough before being laid off to work in a job covered by unemployment insurance in the first place. Only 38% of out-of-work Americans have that option. But whether you’re covered by benefits or are one of the less fortunate 62%, the above 19 members of the Party of No Way, No How have a couple of words for you: Tough shit. Like Jim Bunning riding the Senators-only elevator, they all just keep giving out-of-work Americans the finger. Those exact same 19 Senators plus 19 of their Republican colleagues also voted against the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act a year ago. And most of them were on board to oppose the teensy job-creation bill that passed the Senate last month.
Bums with comfy jobs and Cadillac health coverage, their snouts buried to the ears in the public trough, all of them saying no, no, no to the record 6.3 million who have been out of work for 27 weeks or longer. And yet they dare to show their faces in public.
