:17:00
in the history of mankind.
:17:02
Ruth Loomis? The mother superior
of Orange County?
:17:05
What goes through a man's head
:17:07
when he makes an appointment
like that?
:17:09
I guess he was trying
to be evenhanded,
:17:11
president of all the people.
:17:13
The Senate will never go for it,
will they? Will they? Forget it.
:17:26
Where's Miss Radabaugh?
:17:33
Chambers of Mr. Justice Snow.
:17:37
It's a reporter. Any comment
for The Washington Post?
:17:42
No comment from
Mr. Justice Snow at this time.
:17:47
You're better than Miss Radabaugh.
:17:49
President wants a woman on the
court, why not pick Miss Radabaugh?
:17:52
She'd be perfect.
She'd never show up.
:17:56
Jeff, why in God's name do I get
a sinking feeling in my gut
:17:59
every time I think about that
woman sitting on this court?
:18:02
It's not because she's a woman.
I like women. My wife's a woman.
:18:06
The bench will smell better
with a little perfume on it.
:18:09
But Ruth Loomis?
:18:20
How can you just let it ring?
:18:22
A telephone has no constitutional
right to be answered.
:18:26
Don't pay any attention to it.
It'll go away.
:18:32
See?
:18:36
- I hear she plays tennis.
- Hitler played the harmonica.
:18:39
Oh, she may not be so bad.
:18:42
She's young.
:18:44
We could use some young
blood around here.
:18:47
And she isn't stupid.
:18:49
Fix yourself a drink.
:18:52
I just might do that.
:18:56
Here she is now. Come in.
