While I find myself in disagreement with O'Connor much of the time and while I find her opinions(even when I agree with the result)not written nearly as well as Scalia or Thomas, I heard an anecdote about her that convinced me she does have a sense of humor:

During a court conference, Jusice Scalia was railing against the evils of affirmative action/quotas, providing an eloquent and impassioned indictment of affimative action both from a practical and constitutional standpoint. When he finished his rather lengthy monologue, O'Connor turned to him with a smile and said, "Why, Nino, how do you think I got this job?"

Thanks for the ping.

This is an excellent article. I certainly hope, btw, that the rumors that O'Connor is going to be the next Chief Justice are wrong, wrong, wrong.
