Which "side" are you on, Justice? Are you referring to the religious war between Christians and jews? If so, we know which "side" you're on, don't we?
This is the age-old struggle between the Holy Bible and the Talmud which Jesus Christ was crucified over, isn't it, Justice? This wasn't a slip of the tongue--this was exactly the way you are destroying our Christian culture, day in and day out, outside of the glare of public scrutiny, in the privacy of your Supreme Court office.

CONTROVERSY SWIRLS AROUND SUPREME JUSTICE BREYER; COMMENTS
MADE BY
GORE 'FRIEND' INDICATE PREJUDICE
As the nation waits for the US Supreme Court to rule, Justice
Stephen Breyer
found himself in the middle of complete controversy after
Friday's historic
oral arguments where he indicated how he had prejudice against
Florida's
Secretary of State.
Justice Breyer, appointed by the Clinton/Gore administration,
slipped during
questioning and revealed just how Election 2000 has become a
bitter battle
split down partisan lines -- even inside of the land's highest
court!
Breyer stunned watchers inside of the courtroom as he grilled
Joseph Klock,
a lawyer for Republican Secretary of State Katherine Harris.
Justice Breyer
framed the debated by stating: Whether we win, whether your side
wins.
"And now the secretary has certified a winner,"
Justice Breyer declared.
"And therefore, I guess, whether we win -- whether your
side, the side your
supporting wins or loses, it doesn't change that."
The Justice's view that he is on the opposing side of
Secretary Harris, who
awarded George Bush the state's electoral votes, may be rooted in
the fact
that Vice President Gore is a personal friend -- who argued
vigorously for
the selection and conformation of Breyer to the Court.
Gore was a driving force during formal meetings held by
President Clinton's
Supreme Court search team in the Spring of 1994. During the
sessions, a list
of a dozen prospects were considered to fill retiring Justice
Harry
Blackmun's seat. In the end, the nomination was given to Breyer,
a personal
friend of Gore's.
On July 8, 1994, Gore said of Breyer: "Just speaking in
personal terms, it
is a great pleasure to be able to promote the virtue of this
particular
nomination. He is a friend and he is obviously an outstanding
jurist... the
more you know him, the more you come to appreciate what he is
really like --
his wife and his family and he, himself, are really wonderful
people... His
whole approach to life, I think, is just a real model. I think
he's a
wonderful person."
Breyer's "whether we win, whether your side wins"
comment made in open court
on Friday ignited nonstop conversations throughout Washington,
even though
the nation's main press has remained silent on the slip.
Said one insider: "What if Justice Scalia had made such a
revealing comment?
Or Clarence Thomas? Another media lynching would have begun, at a
minimum
with calls for recusal from Jesse Jackson."
One court staffer told the DRUDGE REPORT late Sunday, "I
think you can now
understand why the justices would rather debate without the glare
of the
camera, or even the broadcast microphone."
A Gore campaign spokesman refused to comment for this report.
