Amazing how rumors can spread.

Thanks for the link. I’ll enjoy reading that.
The RadarOnline report was just the Chicago way of giving a warning.Obama will nominate a Chief Supreme Court Justice its just a matter of time and a death or two. Its the Chicago way!
Oddly enough, instead he's created a case study for journalism classes all across the country. He's also put himself on the "academic map", although probably not in the way he had envisioned.
Is this another reason to dislike Gtown? As if we needed one.
Even if it wasn’t planned as a trial balloon, it could certainly put that idea into the heads of those who think they might benefit from it.
It would be a mistake to not expect anything at all from the Left when it comes to control of power.
I posted it first after seeing it on Drudge and I have no problem with having posted it. People are then free to contact whatever sources they have or look online to see the story and how it developed.
It’s a wakeup call for the right..and shows just how precarious the situation is for America right now....and I am glad to hear Roberts would rather die in his seat than let Obambi nominate someone.
I am sure Scotus is not too amused at the antics of that professor.
This was Orson Wellian for a while there
I call BS. Next time any of those L1s hear a juicy rumor, they’ll pass it on.
And he asked his students not to tell anyone. I think his lesson today is one the students will not soon forget. Check your sources.
Not sure what you mean. I mostly saw panic.
Drudge is usually very reliable. I presume that the poster who opened the thread assumed that Drudge had verified the story.
WHEN OH WHEN will the aging hippies give up their academic posts and leave the world alone???????????????
He knew EXACTLY what would happen....he’s not without guile here...
Excellent point! I’m quoting it. — FRegards ....
I think he has plenty of guile. I’m not sure about guilt, though. ;)
OMG isn’t it rich that it’s a #$@#% hoya behind the outrageous rumor?
I think what the prof did was a truly meaningful and clever way to demonstrate an important point. However, I think his choice of subject matter was reckless. He should have chosen a topic relevant only at the Georgetown level, not the national level.
In the long run, the nutty professor’s rumor will backfire. Odds are 90% he’s a leftist [based on party membership averages of professors]. So he will be “glad” to know how this will help rally the right.
