A Wheaton resident was arrested Monday night and charged with drunken driving and child endangerment while driving with her three children from a local McDonald’s.

How could Scalia have a women tied to him and not know she was drinking?

Cuff em both Dan-O

"Woman Tied to Scalia Faces DUI Charge"

Are they sure she was drunk? I'd have trouble driving while tied to a grumpy old judge!

Are they going to let him loose any time soon? It seems like this would cause difficulties when one of them needs to use the restroom.

[Broker]

She had a plastic Jesus on the dashboard of her car.

Second paragraph:

Published reports identified the driver, Ann S. Banaszewski, 45, as the daughter of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

A rather important one, don'tcha think?

Stupid headline ... yeah, I guess his daughter would be considered "tied to Scalia."

[Paige]

And this matters why?

[basil]

Yeah--I can certainly verify that your children are tied to you forever.

[Tax-chick]

Wheaton police routinely patrol Banaszewski’s neighborhood to ensure her safety, according to published reports.

That's kind of a scary fact. I wonder if she has a nutcase ex-husband ... or do they expect the kind of people who call Scalia the reincarnation of Hitler to attack his daughter at her home?

[Paige]

The woman is 45 years old. Why doesn't the media report on all the children of the Democrats who stay in trouble....such as...Al Gore's kids....the Kennedy's... oh wait that is right they are Liberals. Oh Silly me!

[patj]

From the story: the police department issued a press release Tuesday morning and provided booking photos of Banaszewski, a highly unusual practice for a relatively common — and rarely newsworthy — police stop.

[johnny7]

Ask the police...

[csvset]

Perhaps the question, " Who 's your daddy? " , is SOP for the Wheaton Police Department.

[Paige]

I will do no such thing. I am tired of Moonbats trying to find dirt on Conservatives and the GOP where there is none. As for this with this lady, whether she is his daughter or not this is not political.

Leave the Conservative and GOP families ALONE!!!!

“ ...a highly unusual practice for a relatively common — and rarely newsworthy — police stop.”

Glad to see someone finally picked up on this...

[xrp]

I didn't even know McDonald's sold booze!

[xsmommy]

it's totally outrageous, as was including this tidbit:

Wheaton police routinely patrol Banaszewski’s neighborhood to ensure her safety, according to published reports.

what are we to infer from this? that she is a known drunk and they need to keep an eye on her or that she is a Sup Ct justice's daughter and that entitles her to special care? the whole thing STINKS!

[CPOSharky]

When will it degenerate to, "Serial Killer Recognizes Bush on TV"?

[johnny7]

It's a hit piece... prompted by the police and whoever pulled their chain.

[xsmommy]

so this is Wheaton, Illinois? at first i thought it was the wheaton down here in suburban Maryland.
