  • Thank you for posting this, CSPAN.

  • You make the choice and sometimes the choice makes you, the integrity of an impartial justice system is priceless, the loss of its integrity leaves no reason for its respect by the people in any society!-Born to do battle, drafted at birth.a.k.a.Warrior Breed!-Michael E. McKinzy, Sr.-04-19-2011

  • looks down at 0:52 as he says "greater interest and greater awareness in public affairs" The supreme court, the axe men of corporate america.

  • "We really speak for the law, and that is to be anonymous." That's a great sentiment and a good reason to not engage in 'the facebook' or the 'tweeterer'.

  • The "Tweeter" ...lol

  • As long as the justice is so un-hip that he dosn't even know how to pronounce the name of the service, I doubt it's affecting his rulings much.

  • Many people live a second life in social media

  • It's a Black op .. Fake BoobTube , Faceplant & Bird Blog accounts ..

    can you add ?? Only 5% of people in lybia hav internet But 90% hav a canary account .. & 99 % want "Real Change"

  • They wear the black robes to show "blind" justice, but it's nothing more than a dog and pony show when the media refers to them as "conservatives" or "liberals." It's really a sad testimony of just how much our democracy has failed to hold true the values set forward by our founders.
