The Chief Justice's brother-in-law died when he drove off the Tappan Zee Bridge in a late model Landrover (Chief Justice Roberts' wife is from the Borough of the Bronx, where "wise-guys" once tried to nullify their case because on the paperwork, "the" was left off, or something like that. It's also where the Capitol Dome was made and then erected by a Bronx firm, Janes and Kirtland, for President Lincoln, replacing the "hat box" there, after a number of other cast iron capital improvements) which we have heard nothing about, occurring prior to his hearings and appointments. Was alcohol to blame or recent "labour" problems at the factory? Why should this man, who hurt no-one physically and probably mentally, at last citation, no one has "drank themselves to death" (also an early colonial term for "smoking") using what used to be part of American history, Kentucky was once known as "The Hemp State" useful when manila rope was unavailable and John Augustus Roebling had yet to invent the wire cable, become hemp's replacement?
I think the Supreme Court should reconsider this case and reflect on the Washington State appellate case they overturned back in the 1970s over the "Peace symbol" placed on the sixth story American flag by a native American, ruling the defendant was within his Constitutional rights of expression. In many jurisdictions it was also once within our thought Bill of Rights right to carry a concealed weapon to protect oneself from outlaws the law had no control over, also depicted in our Hollywood Westerns.
