An Act of God perhaps reflecting the state of the constitution? Perhaps Sen. Specter can rehearse the trajectory of its falling path.

A heavy frame surrounding a mural came crashing down right in front of the first row of these special guests at the ceremony.Sounds like an episode of "Murder She Wrote."
It was obviously an attempt to "frame" her!

"We could have all been framed!" also would have worked.

"We could have all been killed!"i'd like her to remember those words while she humps it over the Constitution to see where abortion is listed as a constitutional right

The only award O'connor is fit to present would be a hammer and sickle.

Justice O'Connor - that great defender of the Constitution. It's simply miraculous how she can find those "compelling state interests" in there to help her with her rulings.

O'Connor is one of the dimmest of the many dim bulbs holding federal judgeships - the very model of an affirmative action beneficiary herself. The Grutter ruling is profoundly destructive. A "compelling state interest" (Diversity in this case) now trumps the equal protection of the laws under the 14th amendment. The 14th amendment is now a dead letter for all but the designated preferred minorities. No doubt this and additional "compelling interests" can be used to abolish the 1st amendment, the 2nd, the 4th, and so on. O'Connor should be impeached for this lawless ruling. It won't happen, of course.

It was Justice O'Connor. Justice O'Connor was heard to say, "We could have all been killed!"
....as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said, "The judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."

As Washington Redskins running back John Riggins might have said to Justice O'Connor:
"Hey Sandra-baby, get a clue. Somebody up there isn't happy with you!"

Gee. She needs to ask the 500,000 American men who were killed by committing homosexual sodomy whether that would be a bad (or unconstitutional) thing.

A morning of pride and patriotism at Philadelphia's new National Constitution Center on Independence Mall ended with a ride to the hospital.
At the same moment Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor pulled the ribbon on the new center, the scenery backdrop fell, striking Mayor John Street and National Constitution Center president Joe Torsella.
Mayor Street was raising his arm at the time of the mishap. He was taken to Jefferson Hospital and fitted with a soft cast. X-rays indicate a fracture.
Joe Torsella was injured in a similar fashion.
Others were also taken to area hospitals.
No serious injuries have been reported.
The National Constitution Center is Philadelphia's newest tourist attraction.
It's an educational site dedicated to explaining the American liberties protected by the Constitution.

The museum ceremony was marred at the end when a heavy frame surrounding a mural fell onto the dais as several people on stage pulled ribbons to unveil the artwork. The center's president, Joseph Torsella, was struck on the head but was able to walk to an ambulance. He was being evaluated at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. A woman also was taken a hospital but appeared to be OK, Rendell said.
Mayor John Street was hit on the shoulder and Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., was struck on the arm, but both appeared to be fine. O'Connor was unhurt.
