Does anyone know about Arlen Specter possibly investigating John Roberts and Samuel Alito over whether they were honest in their testimony before the U.S. Senate. Well, Specter said that he got the idea when he said he ran into Breyer at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado .
Here is a quote: “I only noticed it in a couple of cases,” Specter said of the court overturning or undermining precedents. But Breyer, in their Aspen conversation, said “there were eight.”
This is no way for a justice on the Supreme Court to conduct himself.
Breyer. Isn’t he the Clinton appointed justice?
There was a news report this past week suggesting Specter wants to investigate what both Roberts and Alito said in their confirmation hearings versus their decisions on a couple of cases this past month. Poor Arlan must feel betrayed that it is possible a Supreme Court Justice “might” rule against Senator Specter’s opinions/interests.
I don’t think even Scottish law has that provision so I don’t expect this to go anywhere. Arlan is bluster, without principle.
True, but... I have noticed from Breyer’s statements and his writings(published) outside of the court that he is firmly implanted in the Clinton/Liberal theology that if you want to “do good” you can ignore the Constitution. As time goes along, we see the leftist getting bolder about running over individual rights to satisfy their elitist attitude of "we know whats good for the poor misguided ignorant masses." One thing that’s got Breyer’s judicial panties in a wad is the courts rejecting of discrimination for “diversity” sake. Apparently Breyer must disagree with every decision that doesn’t go his way, after all he thinks he’s the smartest man on the court.
Arlen Specter ia just one of many “Poster Boys” for term limits. He is becoming more and more senile and deranged.
It seems to me that if the FBI is not allowed to investigate William Jefferson’s legislative actions due to separation of powers, then Arlen Sphinctre is likewise precluded from investigating Justices Alito and Roberts for exactly the same reasons.
I have an idea for Arlen—lets investigate Breyer for suggesting that the Constitution should be trumped by International law. Maybe if Arlen and his buddies succeed in bringing in 50M+ new Mexican peasants, we won’t have to worry about that pesky Constitution anymore.
It depends on what Breyer specifically said.
Verbally calling for an investigation into his Chief is unwarranted and poor conduct. But the way it appears, Breyer merely commented on the outcomes of cases, and Specter developed that ridiculous idea himself.
I’m sure he agrees with Schumer’s no nominee policy, but at least he hasn’t said it publicly.
