Bush Nominates First-Trimester Fetus To Supreme Court

September 14, 2005 | Issue 41-37

WASHINGTON, DC—In a press conference Monday, President Bush named a 72-day-old gestating fetus as his nominee to fill the Supreme Court seat that opened following the death of Chief Justice William Rehnquist.

"Already, this experienced and capable embryo has demonstrated during his or her in utero existence a deep commitment to the core principles of the Constitution," Bush said. "It is with great pride that I nominate this unborn American patriot to the highest court in the land."

If confirmed by Congress, the bean-sized vertebrate would be the nation's first prenatal Supreme Court justice.

1. That's nothing.

I remember when Warren Harding nominated a fertilized cell as chief justice.

3. LOL. From the same Onion article:

"We couldn't be happier with the president's selection," said M118-P, the unfertilized ovum spokesglobule for Gametes United For Pre-Life, based in Montgomery, AL. "The unborn and preconceived alike have long been underrepresented on the bench."
