Arr Matey! With me peg leg and me hairy arms I will insult the repugnant Senators, ye land lubbers.

The skull and cross-bones, senator Kennedy is, in my opinion, covered by the first amendment -the sword, by the second, and the big white hankie flapping in my rear pocket is just an old French surrender flag from WWII. Chapaquiddick is due North by North East - why do you ask?

Arrr, Senator Kennedy, I may hoist the jolly rodger, but I've never made a woman ride the bridge.

Evidence that Kelo is just the newest form of piracy.

Well, you see, the U.S. Constitution is more a set of guidelines than an actual code.

Justice Roberts
If judicial restraint be something you wish

What shall we do with a drunken Teddy?
What shall we do with a drunken Teddy?
What shall we do with a drunken Teddy?
Early in the mornin'.

Ah, the winning entry in the Robert Shaw/Captain Quint lookalike contest.

It's fun to charter a chief justice,
And sail the seas of legalese.
To find, explore the torts offshore,
And skirt the shoals of perjury.
We will apply stare decisis,
Unless we don't to watch the Lefties screech.
There is no court above us,
The red staters will love us.
We're sailing in the seas of legalese.

Starrgghhhe decisis, you say?

How do I interpret the Pirates Code, Mr Kennedy? Well I'd say Chappaquiddick is a clear case of "Those who fall behind get left behind."

All: Hurrah!
Senator Specter: Where have you been?
Roberts: Where haven't I been! ...Waugh!... But I'm here now. Who is that?
Senator Leahy: I don't know, but he is in your place.
Roberts: Not for long. Hold that.
[Hands his brief to Senator Feinstein, then throws Senator Biden through the door]
Roberts: Thanks Senator, like the beard. Gives me something to hang on to.

If there's one thing I know well mate, It's the law of the sea.

The first law is stay away from those blue states -they're the real pirates! Why , they'll steal your used pantaloons to use for tax write-offs!

The more booty you've got the harder they fight to take it away.

The first thing they do with their vessels is to teach the young mates to cover all the canons with a rubber sleeve!

Judge Roberts was rather chagrined that the local "Pirate Outfitters" store was sold-out out of eye patches and parrots and vowed to "teach those scurvy bilge-rats how to implement better supply-chain management."

To the tune of "A Pirate's Life," from Disney's "Peter Pan."

Oh, a judge's life is a wonderful life,
for rolling over the law!
Give me a career

A justice's the life for me!
Oh, a justice's the life for me!

To the tune of ‘bottle of rum’

I put my hand on upon the book Yo-ho Yo-ho.
And swore to hold-up judicial oaths Yo-ho Yo ho

I spoke with might, I spoke with right; they said it simply wasn’t enough!
Vote me up, vote me down, quit fucking around, Yo-ho Yo-ho Yo-ho.

They trained their aim from portside LEFT Yo-ho Yo-ho
And fired a salvo with ill effect Yo-ho Yo-ho

When in response I argued my case, they libel me as out of touch!
Vote me up, vote me down, quit fucking around, Yo-ho Yo-ho Yo-ho

Now they cry that the game was rigged Yo-ho Yo-ho
And blame their loss on shady tricks Yo-ho Yo-ho

All along the partisan rule; flew the flag of partisan mules!
Vote me up, vote me down, quit fucking around, Yo-ho Yo-ho Yo-ho
