My generation ascends to some kind of power or other

It was hard enough when she became dean of Harvard Law School. I think that brought on my *first* mid-life crisis ;-) When she's on the Court, we can finally relax.

Oh man, that will be too weird. The outfits and everything... almost like having gone to high school with the Pope. On the bright side, there's one thing that you and I don't have to worry about!
