Supreme Court Justice or Alf
Would you rather be a Supreme Court Justice or meet Alf?
Considerations:
- If you are a cat, assume that Alf will not eat you immediately (if you select to meet with Alf). Though he might eat you if provoked.
- Regardless of your age, you'll only get to serve on the high court for approximately 18 years.
- Your meeting with Alf would be for approximately 20-30 minutes during which you could ask him questions, converse, etc.
- Assume that you would replace a justice of a political/judicial philosophy similar orientation to your own (and thus you would not tilt the balance on the court.) If no justice shares your exact ideology, assume you'll replace the closest one, and the views of the other justices will change such that your appearance on the bench would not alter the balance.
- Assume that Alf is an alien from the planet Melmac, and not a puppet from a popular 1980s television show.
- Alf might smell funny.
- Ruth Bader Ginsburg also might smell funny.

neither-I might be freaked out by Alf and I don't want to be killed b/c of my decision in a case
I've never heard of a Supreme Court Justice being killed, much less for a ruling s/he made. One of the current bench was mugged a few years ago, but that's because DC has lots of crime.
