#1 So if, say, RBG gets placed between two pieces of bread and someone pokes a toothpick through the assembly to keep her from rolling out, is it still battery?

#2 What is this court doing?
Assassinating it''s own authority?

How long has it been since she has had a hot dog?
And why it this on the docket?

#6 She's playing word games with Colbert on TV. Late-night TV silliness.

#7 I never thought I'll see the day you uys are making the left look good!

Fox news left out a few details, they're no better than the fake news sites.

I had to do a search on DuckDuckGo to find the an article that mention that Colbert was not allowed to ask Ginsburg any questions about pending SC cases.

Also note this is not a official SC (or any court) ruling, but a TV show interview.

Really guys, I thought your reading comprehensive skills were better than this!

Looks like Colbert got one over you!

Seeking, you might note that "Short Attention Span Theater" is the Rantburg section that normally covers humor and other silly stories. Just saying for future reference...

#12 All previous haranging aside, by the same logic, that means RBG is a really a judge.

#13 Gentlemen, when in doubt it always helps to go to the posted article. In this case, all of your objections are addressed in the first few lines, exactly as Seeking cure described, to whit:

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has declared a ruling on a white-hot issue, announcing that hot dogs are indeed sandwiches.

The octogenarian made her decision on the “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on March 21.

“I was told not to ask her about any pending cases before the court, but I just had to ask her about one of the most divisive issues facing our country,” Stephen Colbert quipped, but he evidently couldn’t resist.

“Is a hot dog a sandwich?” he asked the long serving Justice Ginsburg in a one-on-one interview. “You tell me what a sandwich is and then I’ll tell you if a hot dog is a sandwich,” she tactfully replied.

Normally y’all are much more insightful than this — perhaps a cup of coffee would help?

About Seeking cure’s link and article posting problem: try deleting your Rantburg cookie, then type in your nym into the Your Name box in a blank comment to reset it. Also, Fred has limited the number of links that can be put in a single comment to two or three, if that is what you were trying to do; he did this because multi-link spam in the comments became a problem at one point.

#14 Perhaps Rantburg trimmed SCFI's access because he was rude.

#18 I didn't see the bit (current network "hosts" make my skin crawl), but could they have been having a little joke? "Justice Ginsburg, you're no Felix Frankfurter... well, no, wait... I guess you are! Har har har!" "Tee-hee. I suppose I am, Jimmy!" [chews fishnet finger fetchingly] Or something like that?
