Looking back, OConnor said, she isnt sure the high court should have taken the case.
It took the case and decided it at a time when it was still a big election issue, OConnor said during a talk with the Chicago Tribunes Editorial Board on Friday. Maybe the court should have said, Were not going to take it, goodbye.
The case, she said, stirred up the public and gave the court a less-than perfect reputation.
Obviously the court did reach a decision and thought it had to reach a decision, she said. It turned out the election authorities in Florida hadnt done a real good job there and kind of messed it up. And probably the Supreme Court added to the problem at the end of the day.
