Probably wouldn’t be a bad idea for all nine to have some security.

That’s right. To me it amazes me how little these people are protected. They are more powerful than any single President!

Need tougher judges and bigger jails.

The Supremes actually are protected by their own police force in addition to the US Marshal’s Office.  However, both services answer to the justices themselves so whether or not somebody is given the night off is a matter of choice….unlike the Secret Service.  

No civics class in high school for you Gloves?  

very weird, I had the chance to talk with the Chief Justice and the US marshals were def obvious. Same with Justice Ginsberg. 

Since the supreme court justices are protected a better question would be where was his security detail

How awful!

They were carrying that much?!

Oh, their guests were robbed too.  

They were in St. Kitts, West Indies and robbed by an islander with a Machete, not a knife, Mediaite can’t even rewrite AP copy correctly. “If you ban machetes, only criminals will have machetes”.

If getting attacked with a machete doesn’t convert a liberal into a conservative nothing will!!

You have to wonder about the thief.  Where did he go?  Nevis is an island and not a very big one at that.  Even a thief with a boat  has few options to flee.  Montserrat?  St. Kitts?

Obviously you mean because it makes you bitter and fearful.

Thank heaven Justice Breyer is safe!  Hopefully this will have an impact when the Court has to consider whether or not to let the next thief go on a technicality.  Hopefully he will become known as “Breyer the Frier”!

Nancy Grace wants to know where Casey Anthony was last Thursday?

I spent a nice plane ride talking fly fishing with Sandra Day O’Conner, when she was still on the Court.  I carried her luggage and rods to her awaiting van.  Nice lady.  Knows her flies well. No security at all.

This is where Rupert Murdoch has a leg up on this guy.  His young babe wife would have beat the stuffing out of the mugger.

 Except for Kagan.  Let her get the full treatment.

Got served with a federal summons once by a guy named Marshal Dillon.  Real estate deal where we got the upper hand and the other guy was pissed.  I didn’t have to pay anything.  The marshals are an impressive bunch.  They also arrest and sell ships.

Probably the victim of budget cuts.  Here in Texas our governor’s mansion got torched by an arsonist after the security detail was reduced to a guy watching TV monitors.

And more registered firearms wielded by homeowners.  Smoke those kick burglars and their revenge-seeking relatives, too.

So you’d empathize with the poor fellow with the blade, obviously the victim of bigotry.

He’s down at the local bar telling the bartender to set them up for everyone.  He is safe.

 Don’t you mean “Breyer the Fryer”?  It’s funnier that way.

Why was he vacationing in the West Indies?

America not good enough for him?

No they’re not; look what happened under FDR – he overcame the opposition of a determined coalition of them, a couple of years before the end of his second term – with the assistance of a friendly Congress. Such a coalition over the course of a decade can be as powerful as a unified Congress over a couple of terms – assumed a divided Congress. But over all, it remains clear why the Founders were concerned about the power of any presidency with a unified Congress.

See, I disagree completely. I think in Kagan there’s a good chance for a future first-ever female chief justice. 

Something tells me more prisons isn’t really the answer. 1 in every 100 American adults is currently in prison. That’s the highest rate in the world—by far. I’m not saying I know what the solution is, but more prisons, and more money spent on those prisons, probably isn’t going to do much for us. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/23/world/americas/23iht-23prison.12253738.html?pagewanted=all

FDR was quite radical and he tried other crazy things like trying to add judges to the court beyond the usual 9. I will re-affirm. Take Scalia or even Kennedy. Any of those two judges swinging their vote from one side to the other over a MAJOR case and it can have a much longer lasting effect (20 or even 30+ years) on jurisprudence than any single thing Obama could do. They have basically become a judicial oligarch.

because with freedom come great responsibility and many U.S. citizens do not use their freedom responsibly or wisely.

take the middle east for example. why are not more people in jail in that part of the world? because it’s eye for an eye. that kind of law will make you act more right. do drugs in Dubai and end up in jail fora very long time. get caught with a micro speck of weed on your person or personal belonging and end up in jail.

its a damn free for all in the U.S. 

 if getting throw in jail doesn’t turn you into a liberal nothing will

Why can’t I oppose the bitterness and fear that sometimes follows in the wake of being attacked without empathizing with the attacker? Your wild leap of logic really went off a cliff with that one.

Yes, “Breyer the Fryer”!  LOL !

Do you realize that if Mr. Justice Stephen Breyer became a priest and remained on the Supreme Court, we could call him “Friar Breyer the Fryer.”?
LOL !

He was vacationing in the West Indies, because it is his opinion that America is too dangerous!  He claims that America is riddled with too many criminals who have been set free on technicalities by liberal decisions of the United States Supreme Court!  He wants his family to be as far way from these criminals as possible!
