Sandra Day OConnor

[BOSSHOG]

While I commend Justice O'Connor for her service to her country while serving on the Iraqi Study Group, she stepped down from the Supreme Court to spend more time with her husband who suffers from Alzheimer's. I can find no reports of her husband John Jay O'Connor's death.

I did discover through a little research that Justice O'Connor dated William Rehnquist when they were in Law School and that she is a member of the Cowgirl Hall of Fame.

1. I'd like to hope that she did it out of a hint of remorse...

for installing the incompetent putz who gave us the war in the first place.

But I doubt it.

3. I don't share your view, for the exact reason you gave /nt

[blitzen]

2. saw her make a stupid asinine comment on tv yesterday

something to the effect of "we need to unite in support of the war or else we'll lose"....really idiotic

[Supersedeas]

6. same framework that she used when deciding Bush v. Gore??

7. not an asinine comment at all

In fact, if we had a legitimate president, duly elected and generally agreed to have been duly elected, and furthermore, genuinely interested in doing the job and having a wit of intelligence with which to do the job- we'd have someone who'd know how to bring the country together, and generate the support needed to resolve the issue. But.....

4. They basically just needed to fill the commission with...

warm bodies that had a hint of credibility. Baker ran the show obviously.

5. I hope she is tormented by her decision on Bush* v Gore

for all eternity..She sold out America and all it stands for, for the Republican Party.. She deserves no respect what so ever..
