WHR Bobblehead
Building on the success of prior auctions for WHR bobblehead dolls (which brought in more than $2000 each), we’ve put our own up for auction. The money isn’t for us. We will work with the winning bidder to find a worthy legal services organization to receive the money. The winner makes a donation in the amount of the winning bid, takes any relevant tax deduction, and we send the bobblehead doll (plus a quill from oral argument) as an expression of our thanks. Our preference is that it be an organization displaced by Hurricane Katrina, or the Supreme Court Historical Society, but we feel confident we can work it out with the winner. Here’s the auction.
In selecting the organization, will you be giving any weight to an assessment of whether the late Chief Justice would have supported the organization?
TG responds: :-) No, if only because we don’t intend to exercise any ideological control over the organization. Our goal at bottom is to ensure that it’s a needy organization or Supreme Court-related.

I believe WHR was the Honorary Chairman of the Supreme Court Historical Society.
