Reporter Samson Adams thought it would be a good idea to take a disposable camera to the Supreme Court for the health care ruling last week. He was hoping to create a whimsical headline with the word disposable, assuming the law-to-be was struck down (disposable health care, disposable mandate). Since it wasn’t, he saw no reason not to share some of the highlights of what some have called the American papal conclave 2012.
-
- On the way to the Supreme Court, also known as SCOTUS in certain circles, one fellow reporter was so excited she breathed a lot.
-
- Peruvian icon and ‘Gentleman of the Sea,’ Miguel Grau can hardly contain his excitement for the ruling.
-
- On arrival we were greeted by the swarming proletariat. Underneath the signs, people were comparing their ironic T-shirts and sweat control techniques.
-
- There were a couple of belly dancers parading their healthy bodies in front of the court.
-
- Mr. Orange chose to stand above the masses. He left humbled.
-
- The microphones were positioned away from the lectern. So avant-garde.
-
- The media was waiting for the white smoke to rise out of the court’s chimney, a sign that a decision has been reached and Ruth Bader Ginsburg has begun cooking her famous cholent.
-
- Except for Smokie, he was enjoying flavour country.
-
- The masses wondered aimlessly while the judges were handing down their opinion. Note the impending collision.
-
- The sign was so large it pushed a finger across the lens.
-
- With one hand on her waist and another on her forehead, this excited Romeny suporter simultaneously danced the morning away while protecting her skin from wrinkles.
-
- The belly dancers didn’t go away. They spent several hours gliding and twisting their healthy bodies up and down the front of the supreme court. Several cards were handed out.
-
- Regardless of political opinion and judicial school of thought, the one intangible tying everybody together was an appreciation of the sun, that glorious cancer-causing monster who terrorised everyone under the magnificent columns of the court.
