Hi Christopher, Have you heard about Justice Breyer's alleged comment in the Supreme Court hearing? I'm afraid you are engaged in exactly the sort of sound-bite sophistry that Justice Souter so roundly derided when he said that cameras would be allowed in the Supreme Court chambers "over my dead body". This supposed offense to fairness is nothing unusual whatsoever. Drudge knows that, he just uses this nonsense to stir up folks who really don't understand how the system works. You've been taken for a ride by a propagandist. If you were to apply the same fine tooth comb to Justice Scalia's comments and questions you would swear, with selective editing, that he needs to recuse himself as well because of his bias. This is just not the case. The justices often can and do play devil's advocates roles with the attorneys before them. To read what Justice Breyer had to say as a sign of malignant partisanship simply shows that you need to spend more time reading serious studies of the court and far less time of sensationalism like the Drudge Report. He's pretty damn close to the National Enquirer, as far as how much credibility he has. Best, Ray
