I find it funny that Toby "you're gonna jinx it" Ziegler asked her to sign her title prematurely. That's how much it means to him.

That moment when Glenn Close manages to convey the enormity of the moment just by hesitating to add the words "Chief Justice" on a piece of paper brings me to tears. What an incredible actress.

I always liked Fichtner's character. He was so smart he, basically, debated himself most of the time.

“Hang on, I gotta write this down...”

I loved the West Wing's storyline of choosing Supreme Court justices. William Fichtner and Glenn Close were something like perfect together.

This remains one of my favorite episodes in the entire series. I regularly rewatch it, haha. Brilliant, spot-on casting of Close and Fichtner for the two justice nominees. Always a joy to watch this episode.

I have always loved the small handshake at 2:09 between Fichtner and Close' characters. Just a subtle detail to capture respect and awe for the moment for them. It's two people who are the top of their field and have polar opposite views, at times, yet are about to set off on an adventure together. Just love it for some reason.

The exchange between Mulready and Charlie on AA is a wonderful example of the intellectual honesty needed by our top decision-makers. You understand and attack the strongest counter to your position. Moreover, you encourage the people on the other side of a debate to bring their best game. That is the only way the conversation moves forward.

The entire story was a masterpiece of TV drama and it still makes me proud. The appointment of two Justices... a decision made in compromise... and it is all due to Donna's parents and their inability to decide which pet to chose.

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

I love the look on her face when she adds her title - the enormity of what she's about to become sinks in. Gets me every time!

I fell down the rabbit whole of watching clips of the West Wing. I really miss this show and miss what our country could be!

It's a tribute to the show that they were able to get an actress of Glenn Close's character for one program.

i dont know how Richard Schiff manages to put so much acting into an essentially blank expression.

What a great scene and great episode. I especially enjoyed William Fichtner’s character arguing both sides of Affirmative Action. Brilliant writing.

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

I can't tell you how much I wish there had been a spinoff following clerks in the supreme court and those two as justices. It would have been amazing to see the discussions and debates behind the scenes.

The best scene in this episode is when Mulready and Lang are arguing in front of Toby and Josh. THAT is how SCOTUS is supposed to work.

Oh, To give your daughter a copy of the fourteenth amendment signed by the first female chief justice. This show was. Just.
