O'Connor is about the last person I would ask a legal opinion from. She's just an EEO disaster.

No, she isn't sadly. Over 50% of the time (probably in the mid 60s), she was a fine justice.
Of course the fringe left still hates her for Bush vs Gore.
At least with Kennedy, President Reagan had the excuse of a Democratic Senate that'd already nixed Bork and Douglas Ginsburg (in effect). But with Sandra, he was just fulfilling his horrible 1980 pledge to appoint a woman. How about let's keep a mantra that should unite all liberals and conservatives: appoint people/admit students who are THE BEST QUALIFIED, without bean-counting and nods to race and sex. Is that too complicated??
