"Sandra Day O’Connor was an excellent SCOTUS."



All deciding opinions mind you by O'Connor

Horrible on Right to Life opinions

Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992)--Stenberg v. Carhart (2000)

Horrible on illegal immigration

Zadvydas v. Davis (2001) and commentary there after

Horrible and woefully convoluted on religious liberty

Lee v. Weisman (1992)-- McCreary County v. ACLU of Kentucky (2005)

Horrible on campaign finance laws that ran rough shot over expression and speech

A slew of them including McConnell v. Federal Election Commission PDF (2003) where she was again, the deciding vote

Horrible and hypocritical on affirmative action

Grutter v. Bollinger (2003)

Horrible on regulatory issues that superseded States rights/10th Amendment

Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation v. EPA (2004) --again the deciding vote (Which evolved over time after Thomas was added to the Court) among other cases where she joined the majority or minority expanding regulatory powers of the Feds

I could go on but this is enough to say she was a huge bust.

Thank you...I didn’t want to have to dig up all the lousy votes to present to the poster.
