And now, a short break from the "all SOC, all the time" coverage here at Underneath Their Robes. It's time for a quick Searching Under the Robes post: a collection of some of the more bizarre, funny, or disturbing searches, performed with Google and other search engines, that have brought web surfers to this blog.
If you find some of these searches vulgar or troubling, you have only yourselves to blame. These queries are run by you, the readers of UTR, and not by Article III Groupie, who is pure in heart and mind. In sharing these searches in the pages of her blawg, A3G is merely holding up a mirror to your own depravity.
1. Lots of people come to UTR seeking useful advice and practical information, including recipes:
--judge marjorie o rendell chicken broccoli casserole
--should african americans wear boxers or briefs?
--girls how eat their panties
2. UTR readers remain obsessed with thongs:
--powerpoint thongs [#1 Google result]
3. Um, the stork brings them, honey:
--WHERE DO SUPREME COURT NOMINEES COME FROM
4. The person who ran the searches listed below must be some rabid left-winger looking to create trouble. To the contrary, Judge Samuel A. Alito, Jr., is known for being brilliant, mild-mannered, and unfailingly polite (as described in this interesting profile (link via the Supreme Court Nomination Blog)).
--alito crazy
--alito nuts
5. Gosh, tell us how you really feel!
--Sandra Day O'Connor is evil
6. This next search might bode well for Tom Goldstein's prediction that Judge Priscilla Owen (5th Cir.), UTR's dethroned diva, will be President Bush's nominee to the Court. Perhaps someone at the White House Counsel's Office was doing a little web-based research on her. If you were the president, would you nominate someone to the Most Fabulous Court in the Land without knowing her vital statistics?
--priscilla owen height and weight
7. It's only a matter of time, dear friends:
--"Rachel Brand" attorney general
As reported here by the Washington Post, UTR's Prom Queen "currently serves as acting head of the department's influential Office of Legal Policy and is awaiting formal confirmation from the Senate."
8. No, silly! The Seventh Circuit opinion with the colorful first footnote was written by Judge Terence T. Evans, not judicial blogger Richard A. Posner. (You can access the opinion in United States v. Murphy via How Appealing.)
--richard posner's ho
But if you're looking for A3G, her bio is available here.
9. Some people have taken their enthusiasm for Star Wars way too far:
10. The answer to this query: Fraulein J. Lo!
11. Finally, if you think that a clerkship at the U.S. Supreme Court is the most coveted and exalted of judicial clerkships -- well, think again!
--judy sheindlin law clerk
