WASHINGTON: A comedy sketch with dogs portraying members of the US Supreme Court — picture Ruth Bader Ginsburg as a Chihuahua — had scored more than two million YouTube views by Thursday, drawing attention to the high court's secretive ways via some cheap laughs. 

Less than six minutes long, the skit produced by the Last Week Tonight with John Oliver programme went viral on the Web after HBO broadcast it on Sunday. Dressed in black robes and seated behind a dais, a bulldog plays Antonin Scalia; a poodle, Samuel Alito.
