WASHINGTON—Moving quickly to begin the process of filling
the unexpected vacancy on the Supreme Court bench, President Obama
spent much of the weekend compiling a shortlist of gay, transsexual
abortion doctors to replace the late Antonin Scalia, White House sources
confirmed Monday. “These are all exemplary candidates with strong
homosexual values and proven records of performing partial-birth
abortions, but am I missing anyone?” Obama reportedly asked himself
while reviewing his list of queer, gender-nonconforming, feminist
Planned Parenthood employees, all of whom were also said to be black
immigrants. “I definitely have enough post-op transsexuals on the list,
but it is a little light on pre-op candidates. And I should probably add
a cop killer or two on here just to round out my options.” Sources
later confirmed that Obama was attempting to rapidly narrow the list
down to the single best nominee to submit to the Senate in hopes of
wrapping up confirmation hearings before his choice had to leave to
attend the Hajj pilgrimage.

Listen: Here’s what Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has to say about black students at elite colleges. http://cnn.it/1mflUi4
Washington (CNN)The Supreme Court on Friday released audio of
controversial comments
made by
Justice Antonin Scalia suggesting that some African-Americans
might be better off at "less-advanced"universities, language that has
caused a national uproar and spurred
condemnation from elected officials including Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and Rep. John Lewis.
"There
are those who contend that it does not benefit African-Americans to get
them into the University of Texas where they do not do well, as opposed
to having them go to a less-advanced school, a slower-track school
where they do well," Scalia said Wednesday during oral arguments in a
case involving a race-conscious college admissions plan. The 79-year-old
justice, speaking to a hushed courtroom, then referenced a
friend-of-the-court brief filed in the case. "One of the briefs pointed
out that most of the black scientists in this country don't come from
schools like the University of Texas," he said, "they come from lesser
schools where they do not feel that they're being pushed ahead in
classes that are too fast for them."
