Bob Schieffer just proved Justice Souter right

[Wetzelbill]

That's a petty way to call out somebody who doesn't like the Washington D.C. culture and who had the integrity to stay out of it. It would have been nice if he decided to put up a fight when he was interviewing Dick Cheney a few moments before, but Justice Souter is the bad guy because he doesn't like to go to cocktail parties and rub elbows with everybody. I can see why he won't miss Washington now.

1. Why the hell should a SC justice be rubbing elbows with the elitists?

[JDPriestly]

5. Judges should not be rubbing elbows with those who may appear before them.

It's called ex parte communications. And its' a no, no. So, if there are any lawyers at these events, especially any Supreme Court lawyers, the judges should stay away. Judges are very special people or at least they should be.

2. Yep, he sure did!

3. Wasn't that outrageous?!

Justice Souter chose to keep to himself and not kiss ass at DC cocktail parties and compromise his integrity. And THAT's what Schieffer holds against him? Unbelieveable.

6. his ending comment was deplorable

Something like: Justice Souter won't miss Washington, but Washington isn't going to miss you. I probably messed that up some but that was basically what he said. It irritated me.

[Captain Hilts]

4. BINGO. nt

[Gidney N Cloyd]

7. Schieffer (as always) is an ass. That commentary was completely uncalled for.

Schieffer only has a career because he's the last old bastard standing.

8. It's emblematic of what's wrong with Washington

The insiders club in DC is disgusting.

9. Imagine being excoriated for holding yourself above a swamp.

He should be applauded for it.

10. Man escapes Washington wormhole!

Worms hate him for his freedom!

So it goes...

[Kahuna]

11. That was disgusting. nt
