Mrs. March, it would seem, has some "issues".

What a shame that Ginsberg didn't have a toll house craving that day.....hmmmmmmmm.

"...and I don't know why, (but) the staff decided to analyze them,"

This is a telling statement. I bet everything that comes into the Supreme Court is analyzed, especially after 9/11. To admit that she does not know is evidence that she is extremely out of touch.

Loosen up, Sandy baby...you're too tight!

"Every member of the Supreme Court received a wonderful package of home-baked cookies, and I don't know why, (but) the staff decided to analyze them," the Fort Worth Star-Telegram quoted O'Connor as saying

Um, my hint would be that my wonderful package included a threatening letter.

[TBP]

Boy, that would have given Dubya a LOT of vacancies.

[doug from upland]

If you want someone to eat the cookie, wouldn't you send a friendly letter rather than a threatening one?

[GovernmentShrinker]

Sounds like some context is missing here. I don't imagine unsolicited packages of cookies would ever be forwarded on from the SC mailroom to a justice (or anyone else). However, in most cases, such things probably just get thrown out if they haven't set off the Geiger counters or explosive-sniffing dogs. That's the alternative course that O'Connor is mentioning she "isn't sure why" wasn't taken.
