I keep thinking about the liberal effort to canonize Sandra Day O'Connor as one of the Supreme Court greats. What a joke. She was appointed by President Reagan at the urging of Barry Goldwater as a political sop to feminists. She was not a great legal mind and was not one of Reagan’s better appointments, mainly because she was ruled by her emotions rather than by logic or any particular knowledge of the Constitution. The best thing she has done is resign. For this she deserves our praise
I don’t know or care if this president intends to replace her with another woman. The important thing is that he replace her with someone who knows and believes in the constitution, who will decide law and not make it and who willsnot let his/her feeling of right and wrong, good and bad, up and down affect his/her decisions.
It would be a pleasant change. And I can dream, can’t I?
Amen!
He missed the most damning point.... The liberals have spent the last 20 years portraying her as a conservative, and misrepresenting this Court as a conservative court, based upon the fact that she's occupied the center of the Court.
Now, they seem to be coming clean, admitting that she's a leftist wacko.
i remember reading a liberal article in the 1990s that said o'connor was an anti-semite!
interesting how times change.
Barry Goldwater, What a POS! He "gave" us POS McPain too!
