Affirmative Action, legalization of sodomy, constant pro-abortion pandering, and the establishment of "diversity" as a legal principle...yeah, Sandra Day O'Connor sure sounds like a great conservative to me....NOT.
And I truly could care less if Reagan appointed her. It was without doubt a mistake. Remember it was Dwight Eisenhower who appointed the most liberal justice this century, Earl Warren. Ike later said it was one of his biggest mistakes but the fact is that being appointed by a Republican does not make you a conservative. Several of those 9th circuit Jacobins were appointed by Nixon for example. John Paul Stevens was appointed by Ford and David Souter was appointed by Bush Sr. Would you dare to call any of those men conservatives? I think not.
