I, like many I am sure, would like to read her whole speech, do you think you could either find it and put it up here or put up a link to it?

Second, as I understand the impeachment process, we must first get the House to investigate this and then take action. The Senate will then act as the court if, the House acting as a grand jury indites. If my understanding is correct, then a true transcript of her speech is absolutely necessary.

None of the few judges who have been impeached have ever been convicted and removed because they were wrong or even grossly stupid in their decisions. All who were removed had either been found to have committed felonies, or to be habitual drunkards.

Neither of those criteria apply to Justice O'Connor, so I do not expect any serious effort by the House to impeach her, much less would the Senate vote by 2/3rds to convict on a situation like this.

The only pragmatic cure I see for this intellectual disease among the Justices is the confirmation of judges who intend to obey the Constitution, like Judge Janice Brown, etc.

See my note, above, to George Wiley. At Justice O'Connor's choice, the text of this speech is NOT being released. Not by the Supreme Court. Not by the Southern Center. However, all the few news media sources that covered the story used the same quotes that I used in my article, so they're probably correct as far as they go.
