Washington Post Raised No Concerns About Justice Breyer’s Fitness After Reporting He Was Arrested For Underage Drinking
Joe Simonson | 3:54 PM 10/02/2018The Washington Post paid little attention to the fact that Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer was arrested as a student at Stanford University for underage drinking in a profile of him in 1994.
Malcolm Gladwell wrote a brief biography of the judge’s youth shortly after Breyer’s nomination by President Bill Clinton. A staunch member of the progressive wing of the Supreme Court — as well at the time the the 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals — Breyer is seen by many legal scholars as the opposite of more originalist jurists like Justice Samuel Alito. . . .

Finally, somebody noticed. Finally. At the time, Breyer's arrest was reported as a badge of honor to show how hip, slick, and cool he was just like the President who nominated him. Today, the goal posts are now six feet under as the indiscretions of youth are now a disqualifier for serving on the High Court (except for those like Breyer who were grandfathered in). It's no different than disqualifying Douglas Ginsberg because he smoked weed once, and then putting a coke-fiend in the Oval Office.
Democrats are lying hypocrites, first and foremost.
