Rudman and Souter,
Sitting in a Trie,
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First came Bill,
Then came Al,
Then came Hill in a baby-Hsu carriage.....
(AP) Supreme Court Justice David Souter suffered minor injuries when a group of young men assaulted him as he jogged on a city street, a court spokeswoman said Saturday.
The attack occurred about 9 p.m. Friday, court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said.
Supreme Court police took Souter, 64, to a Washington hospital, where he was examined and released about 1 a.m. Saturday, Arberg said. She did not detail his injuries except to say they were minor.
Souter was not robbed, Arberg said.
She gave no other details about the assault, or about any police investigation or arrests.
Metropolitan Police Dept. spokesman Sgt. Joe Gentile refused to comment. A spokeswoman for Washington Hospital Center also would not talk about the incident because of privacy rules.
Souter was running alone when he was attacked. He lives in a city neighborhood not far from the Supreme Court building on Capitol Hill, but it was unclear whether the assault occurred near his home.
Souter is among the youngest justices and is a regular jogger.
He is not the first justice to be injured while exercising. Justice Stephen Breyer was thrown from his bicycle several years ago and suffered minor injuries.
Souter was named to the bench by the first President Bush in 1990.

Souter is a What? And what are those Tears?? Something that rhymes with Hockadile?
/Sarcasm ON
Wonderful Warren Rudman is the vote that I most regret ever casting. And I did it twice. :(
It’s a good thing I don’t have video of his performances with Ollie North, Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas. I would probably develop an ulcer of epic proportions. Or drop dead from apoplexy.
A pox on Warren Rudman for ever pushing creepy closet leftist Souter for the Supreme Court.
Bush’s victory in 2000 did send a lot of liberals into a fit of depression (which they haven’t been able to get past).
