But a dictatorship of the Judiciary is just fine.

"But a dictatorship of the Judiciary is just fine"

Reagan didn't make many mistakes, but O'Connor certainly was one of them and Kennedy was another.

In the past, Republicans have made some horrible nominations to the Supreme Court - Warren, Brennan, Blackmum, Stevens, Souter and Reagan's two losers. The good picks (Rhindquist, Burger, Scalia, Thomas and hopefully the two rookies). They're not any better than Democrat appointees, in fact Breyer may actually be better than Stevens.

Yep! If the Supreme Court voted 5-4 tomorrow to forcibly impose gay "marriage" on the nation, overturning the democratically enacted bans on such "marriages" in numerous states, O'Connor would accuse critics of the court ruling of wanting to set up a dictatorship.

This woman is an embarrassment. Ronald Reagan was a great man and a great president, but no one's perfect, and he made a tragic error putting O'Connor on the court. She ruled right on occassion (Kelo, for instance), but overall she showed no regard for the Constitution, the will of the people, or our nation's history and traditions, not to mention our national sovereignty.
