At Roberts’ confirmation hearings, one of the members of his family that he introduced to the Senators was a cousin named Jean Podrasky. [...] Podrasky is gay, as Roberts knows, she says. She lives in San Francisco with her longtime girlfriend. Would she like to be able to get married someday? “Yes.” Has she ever [...]
This is special: Asked to name the current chief justice of the Supreme Court, and given four possible names, nearly one-in-ten Americans (8%) choose Thurgood Marshall, despite the fact that Justice Marshall left the Supreme Court roughly 20 years ago, and passed away in 1993. In fact, very few Americans can name the current chief [...]
So why did that dopey “Radar Online” website claim for a half-hour today that John Roberts was quitting the Supreme Court? Some first-year law student half heard the professor say something about John Roberts retiring for “health reasons,” didn’t realize it was part of a class exercise “on the validity of informants not explaining their [...]
Look, we haven’t read “Radar Online” since it was actually Radar Online, when Alex Balk was editor and Choire Sicha was “the cat.” But whatever’s left of that site — OCTOMOM EATS OWN POOP, SUES BRAGJALINA!!! — is reporting that wingnut Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is going to quit, for “personal reasons,” meaning [...]
Oh right, “¡felicidades!” to Sonia Sotomayor, who made it official with the Supreme Court today. Chief Justice John Roberts performed the two ceremonies—let’s just say incorrectly—at the Supreme Court building this morning. Sotomayor wore a tasteful suit in a beige hue, and Roberts, as is his wont, wore a black robe. Some of her family [...]
Oh, well this could be a picture of ANYTHING. Obama is still not president, everyone. You can’t have your official witness of a second oath be a painting of television’s Patrick Duffy. (He frequently lies.) [NYT/White House]
Never, ever, ever make jokes in American Politics. Case in Point: Yesterday we laughed about dumb hack John Roberts screwing up the oath, and Barack Obama catching him, yet still saying the “faithfully” in the wrong place. Well, Obama’s goons dragged Roberts to the White House just now and MADE HIM DO IT AGAIN, BUT [...]
Here is Crazy Joe Biden, viciously mocking Chief Justice John Roberts for ruining Obama’s oath of office. We sure wouldn’t mind a joint Obama-Biden press conference every day! But by the look on Barry’s face, we also wouldn’t be surprised if this is the last Biden press conference, ever. [Political IQ]
Oh, this is sweet: Chief Justice John Roberts intentionally (allegedly!) fucked up the Presidential Oath, so the wingnuts could claim Obama really isn’t president, because he said the words in the wrong order. See, not only is Roberts a Republican hack, but Obama voted against his confirmation. But Roberts’ evil plan sort of fell apart, [...]
