JR: Absolutely. Absolutely. In our next case we are going to rule that corporations have the right to vote. In the case after that we're going to rule that, since they have the right to speak and the right to vote, they also have the right to be elected. This will enable them to also speak and vote in the Senate and the House. I'm looking forward to the day when Senator Microsoft, with the CSpan cameras trained on it, can say "I yield the balance of my time to Senator Google." And after speaking for only two minutes, Senator Google will say "I yield back the balance of the time to Senator Microsoft.
YR: Wow. Does this extend to the Presidency too?
JR: Of course. Of course. Have you ever watched ESPN Classics, those old boxing bouts from MadisonSquareGarden in the 1940s and 1950s, where the announcer -- I forget his name -- would introduce the fighter, then repeat his last name, and the fighter would then come out from his corner and do a little dance for the crowd? We look forward to something similar here. "Ladies and Gentlemen, in this corner, in the five-inch-thick solid gold trunks, weighing in at 75.8 trillion dollars, the challenger for the Presidency, JERSEY, JOE, GOOGLE! GOOGLE. And ladies and gentlemen, in the other corner, defending his title, dressed in the pure 105 carat diamond trunks inlaid with rubies and emeralds, weighing in at 79.4 trillion dollars, the defending President of the United States, SUGAR, RAY, MICROSOFT! MICROSOFT."
YR: Wow. What a vision. I think I would like some of that amontillado now. Maybe a quart of it.
But wait. Let me first ask Justice Roberts something.
