OT FBI Agents Protest Possible Peltier Clemency Friday, December 15, 2000 Hundreds of FBI agents staged an unprecedented protest march on the White House Friday to oppose a presidential pardon for an American Indian activist in prison for killing two of their own. Molly Riley/Reuters Friday: FBI agents hold a banner in front of the White House during a rally to show opposition to any consideration to grant clemency to Leonard Peltier, convicted of murdering two FBI agents in 1975. A banner with the words "Never Forget" lettered in red was carried by a line of women standing two-by-two for the march to the White House gate. The demonstrators brought a petition to President Clinton signed by 8,000 current and former agents. Secret Service agents at the White House gate rejected the envelope, however, telling their fellow federal officers that no packages or documents can be accepted for security reasons. The FBI agents planned to mail the petition. Susan Lloyd, an FBI field-office spokeswoman who joined the protesters, said the vast majority of those in the nearly 500-strong demonstration were active agents who applied for the day off. Others were retired agents. "None of this is on government time," she said. The officers were escorted by about 30 District of Columbia police on motorcycles. (cont) foxnews.com

I didn't get any impression of his thinking he was "not the sharpest knife in the drawer", just that he is not that comfortable with asking questions during oral arguments.
