It tells you how utterly forgettable Warren Burger was.

But he was Harriet Miers favorite justice.

Unfortunately, it's a Sheep question. Not much.

"Keith, the returns from the first question are in and it looks like Flashback and Red Dog have taken an early and commanding lead."

Top half! woohoo! How long will it last? As I'm following live, it can't be long

2. S: Name a current federal judge who has never been nominated to the Supreme Court.

a.k.a. "Which question will give the worst answers in the history of sheep games?"

oh @#$@. I just checked my answer and thought I sent something else in

how lenient will Jason be?

Hey, is this Politics Sheep or Law School Sheep?

This is bad... real bad..

Oh how short lived that will be for me.

I considered 4:

Wood - recent news
Brown - because she's awesome and I don't let people forget it
Posner - he's the most published/well-known to law (and economic) geeks
Judy - carbon blobs

Don't know who Wood or Posner are. Other two would be better. What about Wapner?

Here are some unique answers:

Batchelder
wendersfan may know her, but nobody else does

Judge Joe Brown
Thor Simpson

Hamilton
orangecrush18

Hawkins
funkpie

Illston
gmanca

Jacobs
Mordred

Lefkow
Scrumtrulescent

gmanca, Mordred, and Scrumtrulescent had to google for those. How'd that work out, guys?

I went with the "carbon blob" choice in this question. Will this be the "Monopoly" question of Politics Sheep?

Isn't Wapner dead - not that it matters.

Diane Wood was on Obama's short list for Souter's vacancy.

I think I might be okay here.

mine isn't unique?

Looks like Thor went for sheep, just the unpopular sheep

I think I remember wenders mentioning that he knew Batchelder during the O'Connor vacancy. She got some consideration for that vacancy. I would have preferred her to Alito.

Judge Wapner is still alive and will be turning 90 (!) this year.

I hated this question.

Here are some more uniques:

Michel
Lunatikk

Owens
chowderhead

Kagan
Nick Danger

Not only is Kagan unique, it is wrong -- her nomination was killed in committee by the Republicans, who never gave her a hearing when presidnet Clinton nominated her to the bench. She's currently serving as Solicitor General and is always on the short list for any appellate appointment ... but she's not a judge.

Reinhold
Merkin Muffley gets credit for the most clever answer. Unfortunately, there are no bonus points for that.

Sotomayor
Flashback

No. Just ... no. Read the question, man!

Wood
wishbone

That's all the uniques. If your name wasn't listed above, you think like at least one other player!

Good for him. Is Rusty the Bailiff still alive?

There should be a penalty for incorrect Sheep answers.
