I prefer a foil for a Nevis attack.
But if you use a machete, ok.

A liberal is a conservative who hasn't been robbed at machete point yet.

While this seems like a regular robbery and nothing to do with his job, I am honestly amazed that so few assassination attempts are made against Supreme Court Justices.
Also, I wish I had a vacation house in the Caribbean.

What kind of life does Breyer have? The last time he was in the news, he was beaten and mugged while jogging in Central Park. Does he just bait insanity into farking with him? Is he a mix of Dr. Gonzo and Raoul Duke that just happens to be on the Supreme Court??

Like a bodyguard?
I'd have more than a few of those, if I lived in a mansion in the Caribbean.

I wonder if he also holds a passport. One of the few caribbean countries where you can essentially buy citizenship (usually through property or home ownership).

On the other hand we won't have to read about his anus in an autopsy report.

Those groups aren't even remotely related to this, and you're that kind of thing for saying so. Further, the blame really belongs with that group over there!

Anyone else calling "bullshiat" on his claim that the ". . .property he owns on Nevis is worth between $100,000 and $250,000."
I just find it hard to believe that a house in that area would be so cheap.

I could see a conservative Jared Loughtner type doing it to a liberal justice during a republican president.

$100,000 to $200,000 for his home in Nevis? Maybe the Justice should spend some coin for a home more befitting his status.
(And give me his leftovers.)

St. Kitts & Nevis has strict gun control laws, and possession of an unregistered firearm can land you 5 to 10 years in prison.
Also, it is illegal to wear camouflage on St. Kitts & Nevis.

Pretty awesome place. There is a beach on St. KItts right across from Nevis where there is nothing but a little bar with picnic tables where you can buy drinks for all of the green monkeys that are there.
When I was there a little boy (probably about 7-8yrs old) fed a banana to one of those monkeys, peel and all. He figured that since he just gave the monkey a banana that they were now friends and he proceeded to pet the monkey... well, he attempted to pet the monkey. Just as his hand was about to touch the monkeys head the monkey delivered about a dozen punches (left-right-left, etc) in the span of about a nanosecond.

Belittlement-term please, you're being this for saying that. The plight of this random group by far and away depicts this as that versus that or that. This is plainly what that is talking about even though the initial topic was neither this nor that. How do you get off claiming this about this, that or the other thing?
Marginalizing conclusion.

Just in the news today: Another move to strike down California's Prop. 209*. Opponents hope to have it reviewed by the nation's supreme court.
Apparently there still is not equal admittance of blacks and Latinos in the our top universities. (No matter what we do we can't get rid of that racist admissions officer at Cal!)
Breyer's machete attack might swing his vote Prop. 209 does go before the Supreme Court.
*
Proposition 209 (also known as the California Civil Rights Initiative) is a California ballot proposition which, upon approval in November 1996, amended the state constitution to prohibit state government institutions from considering race, sex, or ethnicity, specifically in the areas of public employment, public contracting or public education.

He's like the rape "victim" that invites the act by dressing like a slut. He should stop with the high-risk behaviors.

Damn. Justice Breyer is one of the great ones - y'all ever read his book, Active Liberty? It's really about the book's title - from a constitutionally supported point of view, with a consistently well reasoned argument.
Cheers to him! It seems that his previous experiences as a successful lawyer have resulted in more than that he can has teh nize houze, y'know? ;)
