This was probably the single greatest moment on this show.

This was a great episode.

They knew what a woman was then..

Unless you can state your opponent's position in a way they can agree with, your own argument is fundamentally flawed.

Is that Milo O' Shea?

He should have said “what’s next.”

So... (for example) if it's 12 noon in D.C. July 1st, then, at the same time... (carry the 2...) it's 1am July 2nd in Tokyo. Meaning, if your flight from Tokyo to D.C. takes 13 hours, (summer) then you'd land, 13 hours later, but the same Tokyo time, +1 hour you took off, which is now 13 hours later there. BTW... Japan hasn't observed DST since the 50s... another Sorkin mistake.

if only this were a documentary instead of a drama. Oh, how our lives would be different with Justices who actually served justice

For me, this may have been the very best episode of the West Wing. She is for me the most majestic American actress living…

As much as I loved this show and never missed an episode I could really have done without Josh. He was so annoying.

One of my all time favorite TV series smart funny well written. I always wished we (the US) could have our own Jeb Bartlet well I think my wish has come true with Joe Biden

I went to therapy for 3 years and was diagnosed with bipolar depression that's how I was awarded SSDI..... And that's about the same time that the weird people the creepy people the stalker people started showing up

Toby named his daughter after a Secret Service agent, who was killed protecting Zoey Bartlet.

The West Wing creating its own Scalia-RBG relationship. Fun story line that would never ever happen in a million years. And shouldn't.

This episode gets me every time. What America COULD be, rather than what it is today.

One of the best episodes of a great dramatic series! I had the pleasure and privilege of working on one episode which centered around CJ and her father titled, "The Long Goodbye".

My family are embroiled in a good-natured yet heated argument as to what the date was when my grandfather died in France in 1974 (the date is announced in a French paper published in NY). In our attempts to resolve this, this clip has added little value.

As a woman, this brought tears to my eyes. If only in my lifetime. 🙏🏻

My first time being paid as an actor was on an episode of The West Wing. We filmed on 01/04/2002, at Warner Brothers in Burbank.

It’s basically RBG and Scalia

It's interesting that two of Sorkin's lead characters had fathers that abused them. Jed Bartlet and Will McAvoy 🤔. Either Sorkin projecting or he has tropes he goes to. Either way, I liked Adam Arkin as a recurring character in TWW.

After all these years this scene can still bring on tears.

Plus had helped Josh w the trauma after the shooting. Josh especially losing it during the music concert we the musical instruments sounding like the sirens .. 😪

Remember in the first season, when they're watching the confirmation vote for Justice Mendoza? Toby refused to start celebrating until the 51st Yes vote was counted.

Who is here after the Roberston Supreme Court giving total immunity to Trump....

I know that it has become a tradition to send off the former president on the big main plane used as Airforce One, but it seems really ridiculous. You could offer a dignified send off and some real luxury with one of the smaller planes used for various high level officials. You simply don't have nearly as much staff, press, delegates and such travelling with you on this little flight. Security, comfort and some nice perks can be provided with the much smaller planes. I think Obama did it for the optics when he left and he was just going on a vacation before returning to his new private residence in D.C.

West Wing was a Magnificent series. Awesome cast, incredible acting, wonderful characters.

Considering what's going on in the SCOTUS today, this makes me misty for how it should be.

Chief Justice should be someone who has been on the SC for a bit...not some noob.

Remember during the Mendoza confirmation vote, Toby was concerned about premature celebration and was worried about tempting fate? How interesting to see the development of his character here four years later, with no reservations whatsoever about asking the not yet even announced nominee to sign as Chief Justice. Talk about growth and progress. What an example for all to follow.

This was one of several post-Sorkin episodes that were every bit as good as the Sorkin years.

It's Chief Justice of the United States, not Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

You know why I am always drawn back to the west wing? Because it gives me hope that one day, we can be a country worth respecting for our principles and not just our might

The last time there bilateral supreme court appointment. It only happens in Hollywood

The writing is incredible.

That doesn't make sense. I know it's tv, but a newly appointed justice would never be in line for the chief justice's chair.

I love this episode - it shows Josh as Coming to age and nailing his own plan

1:16 President Lincoln did not "free the slaves." The Emancipation Proclamation declared slaves to be free only in those states under Confederate control. It didn't affect slavery in the North. Contrary to popular belief, Lincoln's primary motivation wasn't to free the slaves but to win the Civil War and reunite the Republic.

Pander, pander, pander...

This was one of the stupidest and most ridiculous, pathetic and worthless episode of the series. Great thinking Jed, keep the Supreme court as it is rather than gain advantage for your party. After this my respect for Jed went to negative 100.

Probably the highest IQ episode of The West Wing, and that's saying something!

Acting like being anti affirmative action is remotely reasonable. Some of the worst bullshit on this show

Season five was such dog shit here’s another example. The announcement of a new justice is a seminal event. This would not happen in the press room, but the rose garden or East room. This is the studio, only wanting to use existing sets.

Didn't Earn It.

While I hate all Democrates, Biden sucks... loved West Wing.

Alan Arkin: a member of that very select few of actors who maybe, very possibly, more talented than their already staggeringly talented parents. See also: Jared Harris, Gwyneth Paltrow, Michael Douglas, Domhnall Gleeson...

This episode really brings home the travesty that SCOTUS has become.

Lady Penelope has come a long way from pink skirts and hats.

I remember a time when I respected the Supreme Court as a body. I may have not agreed with individual Justice's interpretations and rulings, but I respected the concept of the "Checks and Balances" of the three individual governing branches in the US Government, and how the Supreme Court represented a (for the most part) unbiased check of the Legislative and Executive branches. The current SCOTUS is, however, corrupt to the core. And there's no mechanism in place to correct that corruption. This episode of the West Wing only serves to embody a rosey-colored glasses vision of what could be, what should be, and what isn't.

That was such a beautiful ending for the Bartlet administration. I imagine all Presidents have similar thoughts on going home after their time ends. Your whole life changes in a day. As President Bartlet says throughout the series, "What's next?" I miss the West Wing and wish we could have had a few years of the Santos administration.
