WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—A proposal to expand the size of the Supreme Court by adding the entire Obama family is gaining traction among Democratic activists.

Harland Dorrinson, a Democratic insider who is leading the movement to add all four Obamas to the nation's highest court, cited a recent poll showing that ninety-eight per cent of Democratic voters favor the proposal, with a possible polling error of two points.

Acknowledging that the Obamas "already have a lot on their plates," the activist asserted that serving on the Court could be worked into the family's busy schedule.

"The Supreme Court only meets about nine months out of the year," Dorrinson said. "That would give the Obamas plenty of time to do their Netflix and podcast stuff."

While the presence of Sasha and Malia Obama on the Supreme Court is bound to stir controversy because of their youth, Dorrinson said, "There is a consensus among Democrats that you can never have too many Obamas."

Dorrinson cautioned, however, that adding the entire Obama family to the Supreme Court is only a "first step" in the Democrats' ultimate vision of judicial reform.

"The plan is to expand the Supreme Court to thirty Justices, so four Obamas just get you partway there," he said.

I think Sasha Obama would make a great Supreme...

Maybe someday, but for now she just needs to enjoy being a young adult.

Even if she can get into the dress, can she sing?

Perhaps to show a fair balance it would be prudent to also install Eric ( the toothy one ) on the court too.

What about Tiffany and Baron? Don't they count?

Tiffany--unlikely.  Barron will be with his mother leading a new life in Slovenia after the election.

'The toothy one' is the best balance.

Baron is what 14, so I don't think he is even a consideration at this point.

While I recognize this is satire, unfortunately, far too many Democrats will probably believe this is an excellent idea!
