The NY Times: On the US Supreme Court, Writing Letters to Supporters is Bad, Sleeping on the Job is Fine
The NY Times has decided to throw its lot in with the worst, the utter dregs of the Bush-hating crowd, in a pathetic attempt to make themselves relevant again.
This time, they find "scandal" in the fact that new Associate Justice Samuel Alito wrote a thank you note to one of his supporters, Dr. James Dobson, a Christian evangelist.
Wait - Alito wrote a "thank you" letter, right? Did he promise anything? No. Did he say he hoodwinked the Downies in the Senate and now will vote the way his enemies thought he would? No.
He merely thanked Dobson for his support.
The NY Times thinks this is bad.
Alito's Note to Evangelist Is Called Just Thanks
Of course, the Times completely missed this story - that during oral arguments in the Texas reapportionment case, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fell asleep. No, she didn't close her eyes - she dozed off.
The Times, unearthing scandal in Alito's thank you note, missed that one of the 9 Supreme Court justices fell asleep during a case.
Yikes.
High Court Tackles Political Boundry Case
How interesting - this fact about Ginsburg appears near the bottom of the story.
Now, imagine if, say, Clarence Thomas or Antonin Scalia "dozed off" during oral arguments. Can you see the MSM's reaction?
Also - "boundry"? Shouldn't that be "boundary"? Can't these liberal fuckers spell anything anymore? Maybe they should spend more time spell-checking, and less time checking out Justice Alito's mail.

Alito's Note to Evangelist Is Called Just Thanks
In his first weeks on the Supreme Court, Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. sent a note to Dr. James C. Dobson, the influential Christian conservative, thanking him for his support and vowing that "as long as I serve on the Supreme Court, I will keep in mind the trust that has been placed in me," Dr. Dobson said Wednesday in a radio broadcast.
Kathy Arberg, a spokeswoman for the court, said Justice Alito had written the note in response to a letter of congratulations from Dr. Dobson. "The justice has responded to scores of congratulatory letters from people of all walks of life, and he has included as a standard sentiment in the letters the hope that he will live up to the trust and confidence that has been placed in him," Ms. Arberg said.
She declined to identify who else had received such letters from Justice Alito.

High Court Tackles Political Boundry Case
WASHINGTON - A key Supreme Court justice said Wednesday that Texas Republicans appeared to hurt minority voters when they redrew congressional boundaries that helped the GOP entrench its power in Congress.
But despite Justice Anthony M. Kennedy's misgivings, it did not appear there was broad support on the high court to throw out the entire map promoted by former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas to help Republicans win six more seats.

The subject matter was extremely technical, and near the end of the argument Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dozed in her chair. Justices David Souter and Samuel Alito, who flank the 72-year-old, looked at her but did not give her a nudge.
How interesting - this fact about Ginsburg appears near the bottom of the story.
Now, imagine if, say, Clarence Thomas or Antonin Scalia "dozed off" during oral arguments. Can you see the MSM's reaction?
