Supreme Court Justice Mentions Kim Kardashian's Robbery in Court

Kim Kardashian's robbery case made the Supreme Court today — no, not that way. Justice Stephen Breyer brought up the theft in reference to an ongoing case about bank fraud, according to a court transcript. When deliberating with other justices about the definition of the word "defraud," the 78-year-old judge used Kim as a hypothetical:

"Even Kardashian's thief, if there is one, believes that all that jewelry is insured," he said. (We're assuming that yes, there is a thief, but the judge likely needed to qualify the statement for legal purposes.) "Indeed over insured. So it's not theft?"

He then elaborated and painted a charming picture of Kim K. greeting her local jewelry cleaner, who may or may not be an international jewel thief.

I'm asking you, if the local person comes to the door and says, dear Miss Kardashian, I am your local jewelry cleaner. Please give me your jewelry. She does. And that's not fraud. He wanted to get the jewelry. He tried to get the -- he also believed that the friend had just loaned it for the evening, that she's triple insured, that she won't even lose any money because the publicity will be worth it. Okay?

Now that Kim's robbery case made the Supreme Court transcript, it's technically part of American history.
