The Supremes

If a better hour of television exist I have not seen it . It's tightly scripted over a single topic of the Supreme Court. The clever maneuvering to make satisfying to all involved is what Josh Lyman must accomplish and it's no minor accomplishment. Without going into the entire episode as no one can do it complete justice ( certainly not me) Josh in particular and the staff navigate the egos and genuine concerns of those involved trying to get the right combination of idealism and practicality to make the most important of decisions and they do! With a little help from Donna ( who inadvertently) gives Josh the idea for a genius move. The humor is interwoven into the script is Sorkin at his best with a serious topic it's not tacked on it simply threaded in naturally.

Glenn Close adds to the overall sublime experience.
