Okay, Roberts's eyes should be addressed -- MSM, what's up?
I'm not sure the buzz, and speculation, about the Runaway Bride's eyes reached the MSM, but we're talking about a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court here. Let's see this addressed by the MSM. Is this simply a matter of contact lenses? Is it medication? If so, what kind of medication would cause this look? Is it some kind of medical condition? I've watched many, many people on television, and not seen, I don't think, eyes that appear on screen as his do.

29. We control the horizontal. We control the vertical.
We can soften the image to a soft blur... Or sharpen it to crystal clarity...

Will you guys please stop it? You're freaking me out! :hide:

4. Way too scary. Someone has to explain/fix this. I'm guessing it has
something to do with contacts and desk reflections, but crap! Like these guys aren't scary enough.

5. I had a supervisor once who had eyes like that...
Edited on Tue Sep-13-05 09:59 AM by Flubadubya
They were that blank-staring, cold, steel blue-gray, look right through you, and never blink. The supervisor, by the way, was a cold-hearted yucky bitch too, by the way. Never was so glad to see somebody leave my sphere of activity! :puke:

8. I'm guessing his eyes are strained from staring through the hood
that matches his robe.

Cheap shot but hey Rehnquist was his mentor.

I just started one saying his wife looks like she's been hit by a board between the eyes and that the two of them must scare each other in the middle of the night.

12. Not just the eyes, how about the smirk that never
leaves his face. Yea, he has no agenda. The expression tells me that his agenda is something he knows and we should fear.

13. Even in bright light, his pupils stay dilated
What's with that?

Some kind of perscription med usage would be my guess or maybe he's a closet pot smoker? Nah, probably meds.

39. actually, they look undilated to me
The size of the pupils, if anything, is small..leading some to describe his eyes as "beady". Dilated pupils typically fill much of the area of the iris. Pupils "dilate" (enlarge) to let in more light in low light situations. In bright light, pupils ordinarily contract.

14. I'm self-kicking this, in the hope that someone in media might see it...
and do a little research. Also, maybe if some bloggers addressed it, it might be picked up by the MSM.

17. I think my post is a little different. I'm not joking, or making fun --
and haven't done so in any other thread. I seriously think the press needs to find out what, if anything, is indicated by the unusual appearance of Judge Roberts's eyes.

Just my guess.

19. I've wondered if it's Grave's disease
Edited on Tue Sep-13-05 04:23 PM by gkhouston
and if he'll eventually need to have the eye surgeries. Time-consuming, and would affect his workload for some time.

on edit: I had a co-worker with thyroid eye disease. Think blurred vision and multiple corrective surgeries. Really screwed with her life.

22. Seems to me the OP is actually asking for just such rational analysis.
What do you mean by sunk? I find his eyes extremely odd as well. I don't think I'm sinking to anything to talk about it. How odd that you say that.

32. DU "Sensitives" are picking up something about him...It's an aura
which his eyes confirm. I'm not kidding you about this. Some of us pick up things that turn out to be very valid about folks character. Why do you think the Astrology Forum is the most popular of DU Groups.

Lots of us here...just have strong senses of people. "There's Something About John Roberts."

And, have you ever seen what Joe Albaugh looks like? Bush's buddy who gave us Brownie for FEMA? Bill Frist who looks like "plastic man" with dyed hair and eybrows? :shrug:

I know it doesn't seem serious like folks are posting "Lounge" posts...but there's something there about him that's quite frightening.

Reuters - Tue Sep 13, 1:50 PM ET
Supreme Court Chief Justice nominee Judge John Roberts listens to a question from Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) during the second day of his confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington September 13, 2005. Roberts was pressed by senators for his views on the strength of established legal precedent with regard to the controversial issue of abortion rights and the landmark Roe vs. Wade abortion case.

The dishonesty that he is exhibiting in his refusal to answer questions doesn't help his appearance either.

At least, someone in the media is acknowledging what we're all seeing.
