Has anyone other than me noticed that Mendoza was also President Bartlet’s first and only Supreme Court Justice selection? Since I don’t watch the Simpsons, this reference means nothing to me other than to remind me of Aaron Sorkin (that and the word “cocaine”).

UPDATE: “There was that single, strange episode in which Bartlett made a deal to get through two more justices: Glenn Close playing the “liberal lion” and the conservative justice.”
