Ever heard of a little fella called Earl Warren ? How 'bout Roger Taney ? O'Connor was subpar, but she was a rank amateur to these "individuals."
O'Conner was the swing vote in the modern era though. Warren's court was a complete disaster. O'Conner is so frustrating because if a conservative had been in her place so many laws would be different. I can't tell you how many 5-4 decisions have gone against us because of O'Conner.
I should amend that along with O'Conner Warren Rudman and senator Sununu has done the most damage. If it weren't for them Edith Jones would have been Bush's nominee instead of Souter. John Ashcroft was even in the running. Think how different all those decisions would have been if it weren't for those two rinos.
