Prado's (Indirect) Response

Earlier, I mentioned a four-year-old movement to put Fifth Circuit Judge Ed Prado on the Supreme Court.

Today at the San Antonio Bar Association's Law Day luncheon, one of the speakers was Judge Prado, who took the podium to talk about San Antonio lawyer Gus Garcia, one of the litigators in Hernandez v. Texas, a key civil rights case.

As he stepped up to the microphone, the judge pulled out his cell phone. "Hello Mr. President. Yes, Mr. President. It would be an honor." The audience laughed as he ended the "phone call."

Judge Prado then told us that he had a better chance of singing with The Supremes than becoming one of the Supremes.
