AND MORGAN FREEMAN AS THURGOOD MARSHALL: Commenter Kate brings to our attention this item in the Washington Post, which strikes me as worthy of front-paging. Linda Greenhouse's Becoming Justice Blackmun has been optioned for development as a stage play. Sadly, Greenhouse notes in the article, "We're not talking 'Harry Blackmun: The Musical.' It would be an intimate, character-driven drama." Two directions we can go with this, of course. First, suggest your own musical songs or titles for SCOTUS-related musicals ("Machinery of Death" as Blackmun's big 11 o'clock number? "How Do You Deal With The Dissent of Scalia?" Whizzer!: The Bryon White Musical?). Second, the article suggests Sean Penn, Liev Schreiber, Hugh Laurie, and William H. Macy as potential leads. I'm sure you can do better. (James Gandolfini as Scalia?)
