Constitution Center Dedicated - Justice O'Connor Nearly Killed

CSPAN | July 4, 2003 | NordP

[NordP]

At the conclusion of the dedication ceremony of the Constitution Center, today, July 4th, 2003, on stage, a select few were asked to pull the red, white, and blue ribbons, pulling down ceremonial drape... What they pulled down, instead, was quite unexpected. A heavy frame surrounding a mural came crashing down right in front of the first row of these special guests at the ceremony.

You misunderstand. The only thing I'm saying people should do is vote. Now you may think that staying home is wise but I will continue to think it's stupid.

BTW I come from a long line of curmudgeons who do not care for government nor being told what to do. This may account for my family being in so many revolutions. We fought for the South, for Texas, for the USA, against the Brits in Canada, against the king in France .....

[John Lenin]

It's a message from God.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

I started to answer you, then realized who had posted.

[bandleader]

I think that it was the spirits of The Founders showing their DISDAIN for he DISDAIN of The United States Constitution!!!!!!!!!

There does seem to be a few neo-slobs around here. ;-)

"It was foam rubber, you dumb twit!"

Mayor Street is in a soft cast with a fracture...sounds like something was underneath that foam rubber...soft pretzels perhaps?

Be careful what you say on this thread another poster said that he wished it had hit fallen on her, granted, not a nice thing to say, but hardly a death threat. He was suspended for putting up a "violence post".

Uh oh... I have a confession to make. I posted this on another thread, yesterday.

I hope Kennedy and O'Connor have a lousy 4th of July.

Someone had better warn Anthony Kennedy.

Please pick out a few more rotten eggs to hope about since you are on a roll!

Gee what could you hope for Hillary? A lousy decade?

[upcountryhorseman]

I'll say it; mabe it was an act of God!

Kind of funny he has the same name as the sinister illuminati terrorist group in the 007 films!

Specter may actually be an unfortunate and confused adherent of Epicurean naturalism. Hence, his disdain for the natural law jurisprudence of pro-life judges. Well, he was introduced to a basic part of the divinely-ordained laws of nature - gravity!

[elbucko]

was the mural strictly tied up or was it loosely tied with virtual made-up ropes?

The mural was secured with "living" ropes.

[plain talk]

I thought of the same exact thing.

"Eeek, I could've been killed, eeeeeeeek!" Sounds just like an hysterical liberal. It was foam rubber, you dumb twit!

Once again Sandra distorts reality...it was obviously lite weight foam of some type...heck the thing had been removed before she made her lame brained observation. She's so perceptive.

[carenot]

It was foam rubber, you dumb twit!

Sure looked heavy.

[BobbyK]

Beam me-up Scotty.

What wrong beam, oh well.

[freekitty]

Talk about divine intervention. There are shades of Hill and Bill's talk after the superbowl where a big light came crahsing down very near to where they stood.

One would think we should pay more attention to these omens.

[rwfromkansas]

That is some speculation......but not mentioned much and without solid evidence.

It won't happen.

If it does, I would likely withdraw my support for Dubya in 2004.....it would be that big of a deal because I will NOT compromise on the SCOTUS. I could care less what happens elsewhere when it comes to voting based on his other actions as long as he gives us some good SCOTUS nominees.

Mayor Street is in a soft cast with a fracture

Uh, oh, does this mean Wynona Rider recommended Mark Geragos to him?
