If only he'd been drunk, too, then he could get nominated for SCOTUS.

Agreed. 

A colleague got banned from a county courthouse because he was confrontational with the county judge executive (Kentucky has judge exec's which are sort of like mayors for a county) on multiple occasions. The judge was a liar and refused open records requests, so the paper called him out on it. He claimed it was harassment and got a restraining order. Anyway, the paper didn't just stop covering county business because its editor was banned, they just had reporters go instead.
