John Oliver, the host of HBO's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, is a ninja of decency and common sense.
Recently, Oliver admitted he was frustrated by the fact that cameras aren't allowed in the Supreme Court and "so most coverage of our most important cases looks like garbage."
And so he decided to do something about it. "We fixed that problem with
real animals and fake paws. Feel free to take our footage and reenact cases on your own."
Proud to say that the hubby, Noel MacNeal, puppeteered some of those paws — those of the sheepdog lawyer, Justice Thomas, and Justice Kennedy. (As well as also playing the blue monster and the Scottish Unicorn on previous episodes of HBO's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.)
Enjoy!

SUSAN ELIA MACNEAL: Reds and lovely readers, what do you think about the no filming rile of the Supreme Court. What do you think about #RealAnimalsFakePaws? HBO and John Oliver have allowed and even encouraged free use of the footage for educational and entertainment purposes. What Supreme Court case would you most like to see it used for?
Bonus question — who's your favorite doggy Justice?
