Wingnuts Want to Impeach Chief Justice Roberts

Image from source, Wonkette
World Net Daily is like the political equivalent to The Weekly World News (you know, the Bat Boy! paper). There isn't a thing at the site that should be taken seriously. But it's readership takes it deadly seriously. Which is why most people refer to it as World Nut Daily. I mean, let's face it, they hired Rick (don't Google me) Santorum to make themselves seem less nuts. I know, right?

So anyway, WND has been one of the most visible birther outlet on the web, desperate to prove that President Barack Obama is Kenyan. Or Canadian. Or a Manchurian Candidate. Or gay. Or a gay murderer. It doesn't matter that their collection of conspiracy theories is ridiculous and often self-contradictory. Any tangent, any thread, any thing that might make a person dislike the President a little bit more, make him seem a little less legitimate. That's their whole game. But this one may be just a bit far from their original premise.

WND Will Impeach Chief Justice For Swearing In Whats-His-Name, The Black Guy
 

The good folks of WND are award-winning journalists for a reason, and that reason is that they are NOT CRAZY AT ALL. Having failed to impeach the usurper (YET), and having failed with their clever extra-democratic plan to deny him a quorum of electors, they have demanded that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts refrain from swearing him in, with a sternly worded open letter. Oh no they di’int! Oh yes they did!. . .

Rep. Peter DeFazio Investigating Impeachment For Chief Justice John Roberts



With Democrats increasingly outraged over the Supreme Court's Citizen United decision that allowed unlimited corporate spending in elections -- a change conservatives have been more successful at taking advantage of -- a Democratic congressman is raising the prospect of impeaching the Supreme Court's chief justice over the issue. . .

Barack Obama Takes the Oath of Office Again

On Tuesday, Barack Obama's oath of office was botched a little by Chief Justice Roberts' rearranging of words. So, probably to stem the squawking of the likes of FOX "News" and Free Republic, the two men met again to get it right. Good. Obama didn't need that following him around for 4 or 8 years.

Justice Roberts: Needs Better Spokesmen

Not much time to post, just this to say: the two sources for this article are George W. Bush, and Tony Snow. Forgive me, but these sources alone are somewhat lacking in credibility. Beyond that, doesn't this read like "George Bush calling his employee, John Roberts?" That's how it sounds to me. And that ticks me off.

Chief Justice Roberts or Linda Blair?



You see, this is what I was talking about. It starts sounding--after initial candy-coating--worse and worse. Next, we'll hear that his head spun around, and he vomited on a priest. . .

[Excerpt]

St. George Ambulance responded to a call at about 2 p.m. Monday of a man who had fallen 5 to 10 feet and landed on a dock, hitting the back of his head. The patient was ashen and was foaming at the mouth.

Chief Justice Roberts Hospitalized

Why is it that when a prominent political figure--in the US or out--has some sort of health issue, they candy-coat it? At least at first, they try to make like "no big deal, he stubbed his toe."

When Cheney had his chest opened up this week, and had his pacemaker removed, his heart shocked, and a new pacemaker implanted, the news made it sound like a tetanus shot. Bush gets his innards scraped? Hey, look! He's riding his bike right afterwards. Fred Thompson was diagnosed with cancer? Cancer schmancer!

When I first heard about Roberts' condition on the news, they said he'd fallen down at his home, and was at the hospital for observation. It would seem they left something out. . .

Chief Justice Roberts Suffers Seizure

WASHINGTON — Chief Justice John Roberts suffered a seizure at his summer home in Maine on Monday, causing a fall that resulted in minor scrapes, Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said.

He will remain in a hospital in Maine overnight.

"It's my understanding he's fully recovered, said Christopher Burke, a spokesman for Penobscot Bay Medical Center, where Roberts was taken.

Roberts, 52, was taken by ambulance to the medical center, where he underwent a "thorough neurological evaluation, which revealed no cause for concern," Arberg said in a statement.

Roberts had a similar episode in 1993, she said.

Doctors called Monday's incident "a benign idiopathic seizure," Arberg said. The White House described the January 1993 episode as an "isolated, idiosyncratic seizure." Both descriptions indicate that doctors could not determine the seizure's cause or link it to another medical condition. For example, doctors would have quickly ruled out simple explanations such as dehydration or low blood sugar.
