Was Roberts "choking on a pretzel" when this happened?

The is his second (Chivas --- change that ---meth-induced) seizure since 1993. Me, I think that the falling kisser down, slobbering into s drool cup and noggin banging fit was caused by a visit from the ghost of MLK.

Mister Halliburton Justice Your Holiness Imperial Dragon Roberts, you might wanna rethink your embrace of the three strikes rule. The spirit of Madeleine Murray O'Hare could be your next visitor. Not quite Mary Worth when among the living, Maddy won't be bringing a basket of warm oatmeal cookies when she comes knock, knockin' on your door.

Solution? Give up the black ... sorry ... dark robes and retire to a certain well-fortified, pill box of a ranchero in a S. American country to be named later. However, much brush cutting might have to be endured by you and family during your endless, endless stay. At the news that Oral O. Hatch (with a second from baby pants Vitter) has nominated 'Berto to take your place, try not to jab your baby blues out with a dull, number two pencil or any other handy impliment (contray to GWB, the fat end of a polo mallet or of a recently emptied bottle of JB just will not work. The bastard can still see, broken nose, forehead bruises, chin fractures and all.) Will be pullin' for you, ducks.

I'm an attorney and a SCOTUS junkie. Would very much like to comment on CJ R's "mishap."

So, disagreement with a man's positions is cause to joke about his death? Then "Wow, ain't I witty?! Sluggo chimes in with his own moronic rant.

I thought a leftie blog would have a bit more class and certainly some compassion. But this stuff is just plain hateful. Oh you can pretend you're "just kidding" but your true colors are obvious.

No, I'm not some crazy "neo-con". It's worse - I'm pretty much libertarian. I think both major parties are so enamored with growing government bigger and bigger to support their "ideals" that they're both dragging us all into the abyss with tax, borrow and spend.

Big government isn't the solution, it's the freakin' problem.

Nothing would please me more than to have a Democrat in the White House. There are a multitude of reasons, not the least of which is the possibity of halting the increasing conservative dominance of the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary in general.

But making tasteless, unfunny "jokes" about Justice Roberts does absolutely nothing to advance the cause of the political left. Indeed, it is counterproductive. Why not leave the hate speech to our opponents...they're better at it.

I figure it was just a simple over dose of Oxy's. Nothing so different than Rush Limpballs weaving around in front of his radio mic. Ofcourse, they can't reveal the truth, no particular reason, they just can't bring themselves to reveal the truth. So the official story is he had a fart stuck sideways.

Oh my - a dimbulb righty blogger is mad at you for killing off Teh Chief Justice.

@6Sided:
You're Letitia Baldrige, aren't you? Admit it. Oh, come on now. Don't be coy.

BTW, could you tell me which fork (the big one or the little one) I should use to plung into my forehead when I learn that Roberts has been called to Hades?

@geharvey: How was the Democratic Leadership Council conference last weekend?

I don't want him to die. Not right away. I want him to become an insensate vegetable, so President Clinton and the 68 Democrats in the Senate next year can rush to the Capitol in the dead of night and pass a bill ordering his doctors not to pull the plug. Except Bill Frist will look at the TV and say, "What are you talking about? He's as gone as disco."

Oh my, Sluggo, you are just soooo clever! BTW, the word is "plunged".

I'd rather be known for having some couth than as a self-righteous, illiterate buffoon.

Roberts is GW Bush writ small. Promised to observe precedent, work for unanimous decisions at confirmation. Then once in rejects 200 years of jurisprudence, launching Activist Judge frenzy of 5-4 squeakers.

It's gods' punishment, freepers. Who are you to object to Lil Baby Jesus' wrath? Jeez: consistency, people!
