Born in 1933 and then Adolph Hitler shows up at the Olympics in 1936 on TV. Then we get a Jodie Foster movie about a Carl Sagan book.
Hmmmmm.......
You know, they say the camera adds 10 pounds.

The courthouse that Stephen G. Breyer built will stand on a spectacular stretch of Boston Harbor, a 10-story, $200 million block of courtrooms and offices turned into something more by a vast public atrium. On the outside, there will be parks and a boating dock; on the inside a day-care center, a theater, a community meeting hall, a restaurant and an art gallery.
This, Boston's new federal courthouse, has been Breyer's responsibility as chief judge of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and the unusual shape it will take says much about the philosophy and temperament of the man who may become the next Supreme Court justice.

At Stanford, he had his share of high jinks, getting arrested at one point for underage drinking. But after four years, he had received just one B, which left him, in the words of a classmate, "distraught."

BREYER’S CRIMINAL RECORD
On a National Public Radio podcast earlier this month, Breyer admitted to being a teenage criminal during his undergraduate years at Stanford University.
“We were in a restaurant, which was where they used to sing opera and serve wine. It was called the Bocce Ball, I think. It was very nice. You’d go there, and I think I was 18—I was 18—but the drinking age was 21 and they’d give you a glass of wine and you’d sit there and listen to the opera singers from the San Francisco Opera and have a glass of wine. There was sawdust on the floor. It was very nice, it was a lovely place. … The police apparently raided this opera restaurant and arrested everybody in sight who looked under 21 and there we are, but they didn’t proceed with it further and they sort of wiped out the arrest record.”
Everyone on the court who messed up in high school needs to step down.
Kagan can do all the SC cases by herself.

‘NOT 100 PERCENT SOBER’
In a joint interview in February with Scalia, Ginsburg told moderator Nina Totenberg of National Public Radio why she was once again caught on camera sleeping during President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Address a month earlier.
“The audience for the most part is awake because they are bobbing up and down all the time and we sit there, stone-faced, sober judges. But we’re not, at least I was not 100 percent sober, because before we went to the State of the Union, we had dinner together and Justice Kennedy [brought wine]. … I vowed this year—just sparkling water—stay away from the wine—but in the end the dinner was so delicious it needed wine to accompany it.”
CNN has the video here.
Why in the “F” does a federal courthouse need an art gallery, a boat dock, etc... (A decent restaurant I can somewhat understand.) It sounds to me like some Congresscritters and others should swing for abuse of taxpayer money.
Of course there is a LOT of that (abuse of taxpayers)going on).
“””From Harvard Law School Breyer went to clerk for Supreme Court Justice Arthur J. Goldberg and from there to the Justice Department. It was in Washington, in the mid-1960s, where he met Joanna Hare, then working for the London Sunday Times. She was from a very wealthy English family, owners of the British media company Pearson PLC, and the daughter of Lord John Blakenham, a former high-ranking official in the Conservative Party.
She and Breyer were married in 1967, the year he accepted a position on the faculty of Harvard Law School, and over the next 25 years fashioned a comfortable life among the intellectual elite of Cambridge.”””
Thanks for posting. My attention was drawn to this-— “She was from a very wealthy English family, owners of the British media company Pearson PLC,”.
Pearson PLC publishes something like 80% of the textbooks used in America’s Government Schools.
Makes sense to me.....
How much did Ruth Bader Ginsburg drink and when did she drink it?
Such is a life of privilege
Is that why she nods off? Soused and can’t hold her liquor?
That's why I don't eat cameras...
BTTT
Remember, it’s just one bite at a time.
Must have been hard to run with that one. Maybe it had a shoulder strap. And a cart.
Pintle mounted on a Volkswagon?
The People’s Car mounted with The People’s Camera!
Imagine Breyer and Thomas watching this whole circus.
Even Ginsberg commented recently, that the process was becoming too partisan.
