“How does a total idiot get to be a Supreme Court justice?”
Easy answer. Bill Clinton 1994. Need I say more?

I sent our friend a private message suggesting a different approach to posting. Also, the mods have poked him on another thread. Let’s see how he takes friendly advice.

Of course it depends on the analogy you choose. Yelling ‘fire’ in a theater, or burning flag/the Bible. The question is what criteria that we use in choosing the analogy. The first one is based on the similarity in results. The second one is based on whether the person agrees/disagrees with the content of the book or the meaning attached to the flag.

How would Breyer know what is and isn't constitutional? He spends his time and mental energy looking at foreign cultures, animal entrails and his own stool for legal inspiration, or rather for excuses to do whatever seems to him convenient and synchronous with his perceptions of various current trends. His opinions are most accurately understood as brain farts or spasms than as reasoned and informed constitutional findings.
He has, however, given a boost to the legitimate career hopes of a recently fired New Jersey Transit worker. For this — and for the fact that broken watches give accurate readings of the time twice each day — we can all be grateful.

Was there ever a case involving someone who yelled fire in a crowded theater?
John Wilkes Booth comes to mind.

How does a total idiot get to be a Supreme Court justice? Clinton, Obama, milquetoast liberal Senators.

Thank you TMMS. I found it extremely relevent re this topic.
I also like the tagline you have on your profile page; I hope you don't mind that I've borrowed it.
Filled with hatred for those that disagree, democrats are the most intolerant bigots on earth
As a black man who is staunchly conservative I have been the target of extreme hatred both online and in my life at home. I have family members who don't/won't speak to me because I have been critical of Obama. Additionally, I have been active in Internet forums for over 10 years and in that time I have been called every vile name imaginable. Each time and without exception the one doing the name-calling was a liberal; they are frothing at the mouth with hatred for any black man who would vote conservative. Conversely, I have never, and without exception, been called anything but FRiend by my conservative bretheren.
Thanks again! -SoFo

Uhm, let’s try this line of argument you Braying Jackazz, Breyer.
It’s a symbol which can be manufactured over and over and over again.
Unlike a relic, of which there would be only one of a kind.

I once shouted “Movie Theater” during a fire. Nobody seemed to notice.

Well these -
Used to be constitutional also. I say we bring them back and let Breyer chill in one for awhile.

Appointed by Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1994.
By being appointed by one.

Well, there you go Eaker. He (dammit) do not a freaking Myspace page. With three (count 'em) THREE exclamation points. (Just what is it with n00bie Boogers and exclamation points?)
Now that he's told you off, in no uncertain, if slightly awkward, terms, maybe you best respond. May I suggest something in his own dialect?
How 'bout this:
Yo! JDawg! What it be like? Y'All dammit a facebook? O is y'all jus a PimpFoo?

"Stephen Breyer backtracks, now says Koran Burning may be Constitutional" Wow...
How is it these supposed well educated "Constitutional Scholars" have to guess on matters that are painfully evident?
Koran burning is Constitutional. So is Flag burning (even the rainbow one) and Bible burning. Its a form of protest and is protected by the First Amendment.

Was there ever a case involving someone who yelled fire in a crowded theater?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schenck_v._United_States
In the opinion's most famous passage, Justice Holmes sets out the "clear and present danger" test: "The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent." This case is also the source of the phrase "shouting fire in a crowded theater", paraphrased from Holmes' assertion that "the most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic."
