Dear Nadine: "And now the secretary has certified a winner," Justice Breyer declared. "And therefore, I guess, whether we win -- whether your side, the side you're supporting wins or loses, it doesn't change that." The Justice's view that he is on the opposing side of Secretary Harris, who awarded George Bush the state's electoral votes, may be rooted in the fact that Vice President Gore is a personal friend -- who argued vigorously for the selection and confirmation of Breyer to the Court. I think this is a far more serious matter then you seem to give it. The Supreme Court has been untarnished SO FAR in all of this. I heard his comment myself and gulped. If he truly feels as he says he feels, and given the underlying facts I imagin he does, for the life of me I dont know why he didnt recluse himself from this case. How the Supreme Court is looked upon is far more important IMHO than who is the next President. Seems to me another example of a Liberal tearing down everything that made America special. JDN

But isn't it somewhat amazing that we have to find out these kinds of things from Matt Drudge? Having a supreme court justice slipping out with "our side vs your side" is a serious breach of judicial protocol. Other judges would immediately be forced to recuse themselves on such a response, and the offended side could theoretically request a mistrial. Don't slam the messenger (drudge)... he's reporting something that no one else has.. And we know what happened when he revealed that Monica had a stained purple dress.
