George Washington is the only President to have appointed the entire U.S. Supreme Court during his administration, appointing ten justices over two terms. Franklin Roosevelt came close, appointing eight of the nine justices by 1941.
The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom is the supreme court in all matters under English and Welsh law, Northern Ireland law and Scottish civil law. The High Court of Justiciary remains the court of last resort for criminal law in Scotland - recognizing the guarantee of a separate Scottish system of law under the Act of Union. The Supreme Court was established by the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 and started work on 1 October 2009.
Prior to that the supreme court of appeal for judicial functions was exercised by the Lords of Appeal in Ordinary (commonly called “Law Lords”), the twelve judges appointed as members of the House of Lords to carry out its judicial business. Supreme jurisdiction over devolution matters had previously been exercised by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, was first appointed to the Federal bench (Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit) by John F. Kennedy. Kennedy is especially famous for bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war.
The Privy Council of Northern Ireland has been effectively eliminated since 1973 BUT since members are appointed for life it still technically exists until the last PC dies.
ETA: Ninjaed. Ummmm… 2 of the 4 remaining PCs are named John, The other 2 are Robin and David.
So playing off Septimus’s post:
In the movie “This Is Spinal Tap” lead guitarist Nigel Tufnel proudly demonstrated a Marshall amplifier whose volume knob is marked from zero to eleven, instead of the usual zero to ten, thus coining the popular idioms “Up to eleven” or “these go to eleven” for something going beyond the usual maximum.
US Football rules did not reduce the number if players to eleven (from 15) until 1880, more than a decade after organized college teams began to play. One of the original teams was McGill University of Montreal, and the first games were based on a version of Rugby that was first introduced to Canada. Canadian rules today call for twelve players on a team.
I call a foul!
I linked my back to Septimus’ with “John” (see the ETA) so you should have played off mine. How much time does notquitekarpov get in SD timeout?
Eh? You self identified as being Ninja-ed.
Go boil your head!
Yes but he also fixed his post to make it work. Foul indeed. But what’s the pennance? I say you owe him a beer. 
Does that work?
In play - let me try unifying the posts with this play.
On 14 January 1973, the Miami Dolphins capped their perfect football season by defeating the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII, 14-7. On the field of play at any point in regulation were eleven Dolphin teammates. For the Redskins starters, the right offensive guard was #60, John Wilbur.
There, I think that works.
Although most people use the term Porpoise to refer to any small Dolphin, they are not the same. There are only a few species of true Porpoises, which can be distinguished from Dolphins by their smaller beak, and less conspicuously, different shaped teeth. . The rest are Dolphins, of which the largest members are called whales.
Fair enough - it wasn’t a clear fix to me more gratuitous information. Maybe when Ninja-ed you should highlight a fix…
Anyway - a pixelated beer has been emailed.
Back to the game:
The bodies of squid like those of their relatives the cuttlefish and octopus, are soft and pliant, with one major exception. In the centre of their web of tentacles lies a hard sharp a beak resembling a parrot’s.
Such beaks are difficult to dent or scratch, stiff and resistant to fractures. This combination of properties makes the beak harder to deform than virtually all known metals and polymers. That’s all the more remarkable because unlike most animal teeth or jaws, it contains no minerals.
Scratch-off lottery ticket technology was preceded by Punchboards, which were thick blocks with hundreds of small holes in them, each one with a tiny rolled up piece of paper with a prize stated on it. The gamer would use a stylus to push through a numbered hole, and win the prize on the extruded paper roll. The merchant would purchase the punch-boards, and gain the profit from the spread.
The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific is a national cemetery located at Punchbowl Crater in Honolulu, Hawaii. Punchbowl Crater is an extinct volcanic cone.
There is no practical difference between an extinct volcano and a dormant one. The Yellowstone Caldera has not erupted in the past 640,000 years, but it is considered dormant, and volcanologists expect it to erupt “any minute now”, probably within the next 50,000 years. The last time it erupted, it threw 240 cubic miles of material into the air, enugh to cover the entire caldera zone 1,000 feet deep. Generally, a volcano is considered to be extinct if there is no written human record of its eruption.
The caldera of Mount Mazama holds Crater Lake in southern Oregon. When it erupted in approximately 5,600BC, the then-12,000’ mountain’s eruption was about 40 times greater than the Mount Saint Helens eruption of May 1980 and it lost about 5,000’ in height.
Ellison Onizuka, Hawaii’s first astronaut, and Stanley Dunham, World War II veteran and President Barack Obama’s maternal grandfather, are both buried in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, which is in Punchbowl Crater in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Brigham Morris Young, a middle child of Brigham Young’s 57 children and himself the monogamist father of many children, had successful business interests in Hawaii but was more famous for what would today be called a “drag act”; he toured Utah and Arizona performing as Madam Patterini, an opera diva, and apparently his voice was sufficient in quality that many did not realize he was a man, let alone the son of Brigham Young.
At **Brigham Young **University , approximately 98% of the university’s 34,000 students are members of the LDS Church, and one-third of its American students come from within the state of Utah. BYU students are required to follow an honor code, which mandates behavior in line with LDS teachings such as academic honesty, adherence to dress and grooming standards, and abstinence from extramarital sex and from the consumption of drugs and alcohol.
In P.D. James’s dystopic novel The Children of Men, the Church of England by 2021 has become increasingly irrelevant and factionalized; its female, anti-monarchist Archbishop of Canterbury does not seem widely respected.
Two of the biggest civil-rights breakthroughs in professional sports came in Canada. When Jackie Robinson signed with the Dodgers, he spent his first year playing for the Montreal Royals. And when Violet Palmer was hired by the NBA as the first woman referee in men’s major pro sports, the first game she worked was a Grizzlies game in Vancouver.
