“Robbed Justice”


Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer was with his wife and some friends at his vacation home on the Caribbean Island of Nevis when an intruder broke in and robbed them while brandishing a machete, hen got away.  Justice Breyer insists the scene woul have ended differently, if only he’d been able to get to his gavel.

The Breyers had been robbed just earlier that day on the island – by paying tourist prices.

Breyer could easily have stopped the robber singlehandedly, but didn’t want to give away his secret identity as a member of the Justice League.

When the other Supreme Court Justices heard about this, they were sympathetic towards Breyer, by a vote of 4 to 3 with 1 abstention.
