Generally speaking, we like the idea of a Supreme Court. Seems like a judicial check on the legislative and executive branches is actually a pretty important thing to have in a functioning constitutional republic.
But there’s one thing that we haven’t been considering. Or, rather, one person we haven’t been considering.
And his name is Cooper.
Justice Clarence Thomas has routinely engaged in some of the court’s most glaring conflicts of interest.

These 9 people make decisions on the future of democracy in the US.
But they aren’t held to the same level of accountability as Congress.

Sorry, Stephen. But it’s Cooper.

Cooper. You know, Cooper. How could you possibly forget about Cooper? We don’t even know what to eat for breakfast until we check in with Cooper.

Where was this opinion four years ago?

To be fair, we’re not exactly sure how old Cooper is. It’s possible he wasn’t even verbal four years ago.
Did you just use the opinion of a person who probably still believes in Santa as commentary source in a tweet??

What are Cooper’s thoughts on the economy? Or our foreign policy? These are things we need to know.
Oh no, not Cooper, the son of your podcast host. How will democracy ever survive if Cooper isn't happy? Thoughts and prayers for Coop.

Thoughts and prayers for Bloomberg Opinion, while we’re at it. They’re taking a well deserved beating right now, and they need all the divine intervention they can get.
Sure you've heard from James Madison, but what does the son of our podcast host have to say

This is going to become a meme

Most definitely. Let’s get this show on the road.
