Apparently these judicial bobbleheads are a BFD, an in-demand commodity, a collector’s item for influential legal beagles. Woof.

Washington (CNN) — [T]he man proudly stands on a toy truck and a pair of pizza boxes.

Say hello to the Justice Clarence Thomas Annotated Bobblehead, about the closest thing a member of the Supreme Court gets to collectible immortality. [...]

The Thomas doll will be released in the fall, tied to the 20th anniversary of his service on the high court. It is not sold in stores, available only to subscribers of Davies’ engaging law journal The Green Bag (www.greenbag.org). Other legal aid groups also have been provided free copies, for nonprofit fundraising and promotion.

Every detail of Justice Bobblehead refers back to a legal case, a legal opinion, or as I like to call it, his jurisIMprudence.

The flag Thomas is holding refers to a concurrence in a 2004 case over whether the Pledge of Allegiance should be recited by children in public schools.

The jackknifed blue truck refers to a 1995 opinion written by Thomas dealing with whether individual lawsuits in state courts against a company over a pair of serious accidents would interfere with existing federal law.

And the pizza box? It’s a reference to this Thomas quote from a 2005 legal case:

“One can pick up a pizza rather than having it delivered, and one can own a dog without buying a leash… By contrast, the (Federal Communications) Commission reasonably concluded, a consumer cannot purchase Internet service without also purchasing a connection to the Internet.”

They should have included a shrine to the Koch brothers, a photo of his wife drunk-dialing Anita Hill, a miniature copy of his financial disclosure forms minus a few hundred thousand dollars, and a handful of cash commemorating of the Citizens United decision.
