"In a 54-46 vote the Senate approved the bill from the House which cut the funding of the Supreme Court to minimal levels and removed any funding at all for hiring clerks."

Is John Roberts going to whip out his checkbook to cover payroll?

I feel like we're getting a bit silly at this point. But to continue that train of though: SCOTUS clerks are now unpaid, further ensuring that only those already wealthy can afford to take the position.
