WILLIAMSBURG - Sandra Day O'Connor said yesterday that she was sad that a woman was not chosen to fill the U.S. Supreme Court seat opened by her retirement.
"I was disappointed to see the women on the Supreme Court drop by 50 percent," O'Connor told an audience of more than 700 students at the College of William and Mary.

I'm glad she is disappointed, there are no designated spots on the Supreme Court.

She was an appointee, not an appointer.
That's a different pay grade.

One wishes she could be even more disappointed.
Now, speaking of shameful episodes, one of America's oldest universities has hired on this dangerous individual as Chancellor.

What's this. Quotas?
Sheesh, some Chancellor she's going to be.
What could the College be thinking having someone with that mindset in charge.

O'Connor was a mediocre judge and Justice. Had she been a male, she would never have been considered for the Supreme Court.

There are a number of women President Bush would be happy to appoint.

To quote Ann Coulter:
"It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950 - except Goldwater in '64 - the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted."

Somebody should ask Miss Sandra if men would be justified in being "disappointed" when her appointment cut our representation on the Supreme Court by 11%.
Gender bias is alive and well...and on full display in a former Supreme Court justice.
