The speech itself

Roberts's speech was supposed to be about the first amendment, which is already ironic given the "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" decision. But then a not-unfair paraphrase of his speech would be "Without me, the first amendment is nothing. We might as well be living in Communist Russia." This is a fair paraphrase because he quoted the Soviet Union's constitution. And he actually said "these words are meaningless" in reference to the first amendment. It was like an ironic civics lesson! God protect Chief Justice John Roberts and confusing outlawing of absurdity! Fight that strange rear-guard action against the demon seed of "postmodernism" as if it's an ideology rather than a neutral description of the world! Stand up for schools' hilarious attempts to curb drug use! God bless you and yours: in a world where rebellion has seemingly become impossible, you give teenagers something to rebel against. From our seats in detention, the smartasses of the world salure you!
