“Otherwise you’re just smearing three distinguished members of the court without evidence (Alito, Scalia and Thomas) by implying that they decided to hear this case.”

That’s hilarious! I thought I was criticizing Roberts for NOT deciding to hear the case.

No, you're actually paying Roberts a compliment if what you say is true (that he refused to hear it). But where's your evidence that the other three conservatives on the court wanted to hear this case? Saying so in a post doesn't make it so. Or were you just dropping your hook and trying to get a bite?

The idea that Roberts should be criticized for refusing to listen to the birthers' screed is amusing. Should we grant 9/11 truthers hearings before SCOTUS as well?
