Roberts stated “I will read your documents, I will review them. Give them to my Secret Service Agent and I will review them”. His Secret Service Agent approached me and stated ” Give me all the documents, I promise you Justice Roberts will get them”. I had a full suitcase of documents. The agent went to look for a box, he found a large box to fit all the documents, he showed me his badge, and introduced himself as Gilbert Shaw, secret Service Agent assigned fto the security of Chief Justice Roberts. [underlines are mine].
Chief Justice Roberts isn't guarded by any Secret Service Agent nor or any of the other Supreme Court Justices so guarded. Chief Justice Roberts may have had a guard from the Supreme Court Police Unit or possibly a Federal Marshall assigned to him in this travel.
But I seriously doubt that the Chief Justice identified this guard as a Secret Service Agent or that the Guard identified himself as such...
Good point. The federal judiciary is protected by the U.S. Marshals. Some of the details in her article just seem a bit off.
If I was a paranoid conspiracy nut, I’d almost think Obama’s team had hired this chick to make a fool of herself and the case to discredit all those who want a hearing before the US Supreme Court.
According to the AP account in the Seattle Times:
"Roberts cut her off by saying that if she had documents with her, she should give them to security officers. He also said he could not discuss the issue."
Quite different from Taitz's account of the incident, which also brings into question her story of what it is Scalia said when she gave a similar performance at his speech. Unfortunately, there wasn't any press report on Scalia's speech that I've seen.
