Some animals are more equal.
He’s been robbed twice, including once while present....facing a machete-wielding home invader....and he STILL doesn’t ‘get’ the need for citizens to be armed for self-protection.
Sorry............the man’s a dolt.
So if they are so worried, let them hire (at their expense) personal body guards.
Caribbean vacation house, huh? So basically Breyer wants the virtual equivalent of Secret Service protection to protect him and his family wherever he goes? Nice. I wish he would stay down there.
I have *absolutely* no problem with government officials,including Supreme Court justices,taking steps to ensure the safety of themselves and their families.The *big* problem I have is that these same officials,and at least several of these justices,would deny *me* the right to do the same.
Wait a minute
Breyer
in the Caribbean
what does he expect?
ridiculous
Breyer has a place here in NH. In fact it’s right across the road from that nutcase Ed Brown and his wife, Elaine. Of course he probably doesn’t have much to worry about up here in the sticks but he has plenty of No Trespassing signs and who knows what else all along the road frontage of his property.
In case you forgot who Ed Brown is, here’s a link:

“Statists expect to recieve special treatment. It may be necessary, but these events were not related to Justice Breyer’s Supreme Court status.”
Ironic indeed, although one would expect to see more attacks that are related to his dictatorial position. In the age of juridical dictatorship(judges able to make law) killing a Federal Supreme court “judge” has a far more lasting effect a president. Frankly I’m surprised more of them have not been knocked off.
As for his D.C. ruling I disagree with him on the simple fact that D.C. is under the “exclusive” domestic jurisdiction of congress. The same Congress that is spelled out in the 2nd amendment.
The Illinois case however is completely wrong and he was right to rule against it. The leglsator and Constitution of the State of Illinois is most defiantly NOT congress, nor does congress have any legitimate domestic jurisdiction over the state of Illinois.
Article 1 Section 8 clearly only give congress such domestic authority over D.C. and federal instillation. So how does D.C. manage to pass laws and elect its own government? To put it simply illegally. To put it precisely congress bypasses its constitutional obligation to exclusive exclusive jurisdictional by ratifying everything D.C. does.
So even by congresses own twisted logic they passed the D.C. gun ban, not D.C.
Dear Mr Breyer (I’ll not use the word “justice”, since - being a liberal - you have no clue what that is.)
Pack heat, dumb*ss.
You’ll have to look that up.
Kind of reminds me of that old saying, “a conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged.” heh
Could this have been a little reminder that he had better rule correctly on ObamaCare?
Maybe Justice Breyer should buy a handgun and an AR15.
Breyer should resign and move to Europe where they aren’t saddled with antiquated right wing notions like the 2nd ammendment to the US Constitution.

In the end, all of these liberal scumbags are Carl Rowan. (Carl Rowan - RIP - was the liberal Washington Post columnist who routinely pushed for the kind of “gun control” the District of Columbia had. Then one night he shot a kid he caught swimming in his backyard pool. Rowan died not long after this incident, maybe in part from the shame of his own hypocrisy. If so, then at least he was one liberal who had some shame.)
I’m glad that Breyer wasn’t harmed in either instance, but he’s an example of why we need better Surpeme Court justices. Whoever wins the the 2012 Presidential election will probably appoint two to four new justices.
What kind of self respecting burglar steals “$3,500 worth of candlesticks and cutlery” from a home somebody like Breyer?
This coincidence smacks of a typical Leftist self inflicted “crime” , designed to “raise awareness” of his perceived need for additional protection for federal jurists.
Interestingly enough, his campaign was supposedly sparked by the death of Judge Roll in Tucson, when Rep. Giffords was shot; yet the judge was not a picked target, nor even expected to be there. Unless Breyer is asking for Secret Service details to shepherd judges and justices around 24/7, ‘extra protection’ would not have prevented that shooting.
Don’t jump to conclusions.
Breyer may assume that the body guard’s use of the weapon he carries is limited to the defense of Breyer alone and that any use of it for defense of the body guards life would be illegal.
