Uh, ya think maybe because the cookies accompanied threatening letters? Sandy not sounding too bright here!
Hey, one justice DID DIE - anyone know if he ate cookies sent to him?
It's not the first time she's had a brain freeze moment out in public. And her constant whining about how people don't have any respect for judges could use a little analysis too. She could, for example, ask herself WHY people have lost respect for our courts, and she could answer herself by looking in the mirror.
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.
