Newsflash Comrades...
In a stunning (snerk) reversal, Emperor Palpatine's nomination to the supreme court has been withdrawn.
Media pundits (an oxymoron, as the word 'pundit' comes from the Sanskrit word for wise man) are specu-flatulating that it was the Emperor's decision, and not that of his President. The foul-winded ones are gibbering that Emperor Mier's... ahem, sorry... Palpatine's decision to withdraw was based on his belief that his nomination was hurting his President, and causing divisiveness in the already beleaguered Empire. The Rebel Alliance has the Empire on the run. Senator 'Teddybear' Kennedy has suggested that nomination of a Wookie might go a long way to healing bipartisan wounds, but even most rebels see this as a blatant case of nepotism.
The Rebel are blaming Empire extremists for the failure and subsequent withdrawal of Palpatine's nomination, once again straining even The Force's ability to lend credence to their cause.
