Yup. Spoken like a true Elitist.

Agreed. They truly act like they want to play God with our lives. Breyer is lower than pond scum. He knows less about the US Constitution than Mark Levin.

Yup. Spoken like a true Elitist.

I saw the video with Breyer. He is like many males on the left -- total sissy's. They are truly girlie men. The other type of males on the left are loud mouth idiots (Dean, Moore, etc.)

If he thinks citing to foreign precedent hits a nerve, he's got some more nerve hits coming. Stealing private property doesn;t sit well across the politcal spectrum.

I'll tell ya, the more I listen to these guys the more I'm convinced that the constitution needs amending to set term limits for federal judges. These clowns think they are above criticism. There's a word for that, it's called NUTS!

Hey Stevie! Here's a rule of thumb for you to go by. If it's not in the Constitution, DON'T SAY IT IS. You can't go wrong. Jerk.

But wait! There's more...

Here's some previous stupidity from the good Justice Breyer:

"Protect our judges"??? From whom, THE PEOPLE???

How about PROTECTING the CONSTITUTION?

[mrobison]

"Breyer urged lawyers to help educate people about...responsibility..."

You have to be kidding me.

May I sympathetically suggest Justice Breyer relieve himself of this awful stress and strain by submitting his immediate resignation?

[George W. Bush]

Coming after the political fights over the 20 failed judicial nominees and especially with the Roberts nomination, this scolding by the liberal Breyer doesn't exactly help Roberts' case with conservatives.

But then, that might be his objective.

Does anyone else think that these kinds of comments are themselves a kind of judicial activism? This guy's acting like a politician.

The court system, without writing a 5000 word essay - in a single word: Sucks.

If the did what they were supposed to do, instead of playing politics with their rulings, people wouldn't be as PO'd at them as they are now.

Really, judge, don't blame the people for thinking you're an idiot. You had a large role in that, yourself.

"If we do not protect our courts, our courts cannot protect us," Greco said.

Just let me protect myself, and leave me the hell alone.

You forgot one very important check on the Supreme Court. According to Article 3, Section 2, Clause 2: "In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make." Therefore, Congress can remove entire classes of cases from the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.

[Rodney King]

Wow. I never noticed that before.

[puroresu]

Hey Breyer, you're a lousy judge, it's as simple as that!

[cgk]

Nice. Well put.

It's this part that gets me:

"...judicial independence..."

What IS that?

[cgk]

He knows less about the US Constitution than Mark Levin

I don't think anyone knows more about it than Mr. Levin. :)

Hey Lindsey! What in Hell are you doing in Chicago kissing Breyer's butt?

You're on recess. Supposed to be out sampling your constituent's opinions on the important matters of the day.

Get yer ass back down here to South Carolina where you belong! Do yer job.

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer said Tuesday that rulings on difficult subjects like gay rights and the death penalty have left courts vulnerable to political attacks that are threatening judicial independence.

Quit whining about legal activity.
