When, according to Chief Justice Roberts, are you required to wear cowboy boots to a Supreme Court oral argument?

When you are representing the state of Texas.

ADDED: What this post is really about....

My aversion to discussing the strenuous blabbing everywhere out there about the "government shutdown."

Hagar म्हणाले...: The "strenuous blabbing" is pretty much a giant squirrel to distract attention from and avoid reporting on all the other things going wrong for this administration - at home and abroad, so I am with you, Madame.; २४/९/१३, ८:२० AM
Limited Blogger म्हणाले...: Agreed, Ann and Hagar.

Let's talk instead about how the IPCC and various governments are negotiating this week -- behind closed doors -- the "settled science" of global warming to serve their own purposes.

Or Lois Lerner's retirement from the IRS, which coincides with the IRS's partial settlement with True the Vote.; २४/९/१३, ९:४४ AM
chickelit म्हणाले...: I get the meme that Cruz must now be destroyed or Alinsky'd but getting cheap shots from the wrong people isn't going to help.; २४/९/१३, १०:०७ AM
Richard Dolan म्हणाले...: So CJ Rehnquist was a 'stickler for attire'? With those silly stripes on his judicial robe? And, anyway, it would have been hard for the judges to see an attorney's footware from the bench -- especially if yours is the first case up, and you're already sitting at counsel table facing the bench. Cruz should have just gone full-Texan and found out whether Rehnquist, with his Arizona/Stanford background, would have made a fuss. Cruz could hardly have done worse that 9-0, even though he didn't know it at the time.; २४/९/१३, १०:५६ AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Ted Cruz may be a humble bragger, but the example the article gives is not evidence of it.; २४/९/१३, १२:३३ PM
Sam L. म्हणाले...: He's standing in for Sarah Palin; they think he's a better target. (Jest oneathem crazy Texans!); २४/९/१३, २:२५ PM
cubanbob म्हणाले...: The only thing the article does without being explicit is contrasting Cruz with Obama and without the author's intent Obama is the lightweight.; २४/९/१३, ४:३२ PM
Tari म्हणाले...: You're damn skippy boots are required!; २४/९/१३, ४:४५ PM
Kit Carson म्हणाले...: apparently the guy the WashPost quoted saying Cruz refused to study with lesser mortals recently was disbarred for fraud.

this is just another hit piece by mainstreammedia on a conservative. they do this sort of thing regularly.

professor, i would expect your normal skepticism to save you from this sort of sloppy hit.; २४/९/१३, ८:०३ PM
