U.S. Supreme Court Justice Souter Attacked During Jog


May 1 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter was assaulted by several men while jogging late yesterday, a court spokesman said. Souter was treated and released from a hospital, the spokesman said.

``He sustained minor injuries and is feeling fine,'' said court spokesman Ed Turner.

Souter, 64, was jogging shortly after 9 p.m. Washington time when several men attacked him, Turner said. He was taken to Washington Hospital Center by court police, where he was examined. He was released at about 1:30 a.m. today, Turner said.

Souter was appointed to the nation's highest court in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush. He is a former justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court and former attorney general of New Hampshire.

Turner wouldn't say where Souter was jogging, describe the nature of the attack or the justice's injuries.

Hi JustPiper. As you noted on your home page, the first thread in this series of 7 threads was born on November 3, 2003. That means May 3 (Monday) is the Threat Matrix's 6 month anniversary. Woo-hoo!

Let's have a party, everyone!

Perhaps there is hope is this event. Recall that a conservative is a liberal who had just been mugged. We can only hope!
