After a three month process, the Senate confirms Judge [[Recap/TheWestWingS01E09TheShortList Roberto]] [[Recap/TheWestWingS01E15CelestialNavigation Mendoza]] to the Supreme Court. The staff celebrates, and then it's back to work the next day. Josh reluctantly meets with Jeff Breckenridge (Carl Lumbly), the nominee for Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, whom some leaders have a problem with because Breckenridge supports slavery reparations. The same night Mendoza gets confirmed, Zoey goes to a party where David Arbor, the son of a major Democrat Party contributor, is arrested for drug possession. Zoey tells a reporter who confronts her on campus that she didn't know Arbor was supposed to be there, but when Charlie tells C.J. Zoey brought Arbor's car keys to the party (that she had taken from him earlier), C.J. realizes Zoey was lying. She manages to kill the story, but when she has to tell President Bartlet, he goes ballistic until C.J. manages to talk him down. Also, Leo gives Mallory a position paper Sam wrote in favor of school vouchers, and incensed, she makes an appointment to see him and argue him about it, only for Leo to reveal Sam was merely writing opposition prep (he's actually in favor of more public school funding) because Leo was trying to have fun with them. Finally, Mandy wants the White House to buy a new panda bear for the National Zoo.
