With pancreatic cancer chances are good that she’s taking some serious pain meds.

Just what we need, a liberal Supreme Court justice stoned on Oxycontin and trying to protect our Constitution.

Lovely mental image there...

You got that right. Let’s hope she stays on the court until after 2012.

If a SCOTUS Justice is gonna apply international law when deciding US cases one must visit with foreign judges,attend foreign courts and read foreign legal journals.

Article says it was a combination of a sleeping aid and cold medication.
