1. Uh-oh, another conservative joins the Supreme Court!

too bad he couldn't exercise his Second Amendment rights.

3. You must be thinking of the wrong Justice and as far as I know he is not retiring and is fine

[rfranklin]

7. A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged....

accordingly to folklore. It's a joke.

9. right over my head, zip

10. Sorry, I thought it was a well-known rightwing jibe...

but then, it is difficult to keep up with all their weird ideas.

5. Wrong on several counts:

They were on Nevis, may or may not have 'gun/weapon rights' there; he and his party are fine; and he's NOT a candidate for retirement/replacement.

8. Lack of sense of humor on all counts!

Lighten up my friend.

11. Sorry, missed 'sarcasm.'

Subject not conducive to humor, imo.

6. I'm not sure I understand the 'another conservative' joins the court?

Breyer is not among the conservative block and also if he were replaced it would be by President Obama, whose two previous selections have been of the same general philosophy as Justice Breyer--certainly left of center.

2. That is scary!
