WASHINGTON (AP) - Supreme Court Justice David Souter suffered minor injuries when a group of young men assaulted him as he jogged on a city street, a court spokeswoman said Saturday.

The attack occurred about 9 p.m. Friday, court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said.

Supreme Court police took Souter, 64, to a Washington hospital, where he was examined and released about 1 a.m. Saturday, Arberg said. She did not detail his injuries except to say they were minor.

Souter was not robbed, Arberg said.

She gave no other details about the assault, or about any police investigation or arrests.

Metropolitan Police Dept. spokesman Sgt. Joe Gentile refused to comment. A spokeswoman for Washington Hospital Center also would not talk about the incident because of privacy rules.

Souter was running alone when he was attacked. He lives in a city neighborhood not far from the Supreme Court building on Capitol Hill, but it was unclear whether the assault occurred near his home.

Souter is among the youngest justices and is a regular jogger.

He is not the first justice to be injured while exercising. Justice Stephen Breyer was thrown from his bicycle several years ago and suffered minor injuries.

Souter was named to the bench by the first President Bush in 1990.

Obviously an attack by right wingers desperate to get a fascist appointed to the Court "by any means neccessary" before Junior is thrown out of office.

Probably call themselves "pro life" too.

Oh, well of course....Your right as always, it's another conspiracy by the "right wingers"... BAAAAAAAAAAA

Ever consider that just maybe it could be people who didn't like a ruling he may have given?

Geez man, not everything is a Right Wing Conspiracy in this world....but maybe it is in yours.
So, tell me again what color the sky is in the land of Ford?

The people who would not like Souter's rulings would likely be right wingers. They hate him even more than they do the "liberal" judges, because he's a Poppy Bush appointee who doesn't always vote the neocon right wing extremist agenda.

Probably one of the BCE's biggest disappointments (from their perspective)
