Sandra Day O'connor warns of US dictatorship

What a riot watching the right wingers pile on a Reagan appointee....

Let's see.....how did Sandy vote on the 2000 election issue of Gore vs. Bush re: Florida vote count?

LOL.....

"On December 12, 2000, the Wall Street Journal reported O'Connor was reluctant to retire with a Democrat in office:

At an Election Night party at the Washington, D.C. home of Mary Ann Stoessel, widow of former Ambassador Walter Stoessel, the justice's husband, John O'Connor, mentioned to others her desire to step down, according to three witnesses. But Mr. O'Connor said his wife would be reluctant to retire if a Democrat were in the White House and would choose her replacement. Justice O'Connor declined to comment."

She is not a complete moron, and I never said she was. Every conservativbe appreciates her hanging on, so Bush could appoint her replacement. Of course, she didn;t have to wait until his second term to retire.

There's nothing wrong with her wanting a republican president to select her replacement. She had a lifetime appointment and could retire when she jolly well pleased.
 
Quote from Chood:

I am reassured. To think I was worried that a bothersome little court might interfere with --

1) Dick Cheney's right to place my life and property in jeopardy by battling our enemies at home and abroad. I mean, really, what's the use of a Declaration of War, voted by Congress, when you have a warrior of his talent calling the shots?

2) Al Gonzalez's listening in on those phone calls down the street. How the hell else is Cheney gonna know who the enemy is?

3) Tom DeLay and Bill Frist's power to step in as needed to resolve sticky family and privacy concerns involving life and death. And Bill Frist, God bless him, didn't even send Terry Schiavo's husband a bill for diagnosing her. What a guy.

Here's the difference. You can correct each of those complaints at the polls. When the Supreme Court "discovers" another constitutional right that had somehow been missed for 250 years, then we don;t have any realistic way of changing it through democratic action.

As for DeLay and Frist, they pushed a law that said federal courts have a right to review termination of life support decisions. I find it ironic that liberals would object to that, considering they abuse federal courts constantly to challenge death penalty cases.
 
Quote from TheConMan:

There is indeed a vast right-wing conspiracy in existence. These are the individuals behind the push for a new world order and the neo-communists make good foot soldiers. We are the most advanced civilization in the history of mankind. Their goal is for complete command and control of this civilization. Then to leverage its assets to control the rest of humanity. Some individuals will laugh after reading what I have posted. These are the same individuals who laughed off Nixons conspiracy. Even after the day Nixon came on national Television and resigned, they do not believe there was a watergate. These are the neo-communist boot-licking foot-soldiers referenced above.

There is a vast left-wing conspiracy in existence. These are the individuals behind the push for a new world order and the lefties have always made good, robotic foot soldiers. In case anybody didn't know it, we are the most advanced civilization in the history of mankind. Why? because we are the latest civilization, but that's besides the point...Anyway, as I was saying, the lefties' goal is for complete command and control of this civilization, which, as I just explained, is the most advanced civilization in the history of mankind because it's the latest. Still following me? Good....Then, the lefties want to leverage their assets of conspiracy theorists, Code Pinkies, communists the world over, groups like Queers for Economic Justice, etc., in order to control the rest of humanity. Now, some of you may laugh after reading what I have posted here. That's okay. I expect you to laugh. You're probably the same ones who laugh at conspiracy theories in general, especially those of the 9/11 variety, but, being rational people, you understand that Watergate was a real event, and you never thought it was a conspiracy in the first place anyway, much to the disappointment of certain morons on this website.

Good night and good luck.

I don't see the problem. If those were her words whereas the remainder of the text was paraphrased for brevity, then I would think that the presentation is appropriate. Any comments on the content?

Yes, she's a damn hypocrite. She helped enshrine Bush and his horde back in 2000 and now she wants to whine about the then-predictable outcome for the courts. May she and her ilk all go to hell.
 
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

Thanks for reminding me how much better off we are with this bitter woman off the Court. ... Her view seems to be that whatever jduges do is beyond reproach, and the other Branches are just supposed to shut up and comply no matter what kind of extra-constitutional edict the Court issues. ....(Please, all the enlightened political "science" majors out there, spare me the lectures about how in our system the Court determines what the "Law" is.)


Thank goodness she has been replaced by a man who seems to have a clearer and more mature appreciation of the judicial power.

I do not know how old you are, but when O'Conner was appointed by Regan (she came to his attention after a intellectually conservative, and well-thought-out article in "Foreign Policy." but conservatives everywhere were happy with her appointment to the bench. Remember, it was her swing vote that put , Bush into the Whitehouse.

You seem to have a lot of anger with the Judiciary.

You seem to have an issue with the idea of a female on the bench. "Bitter woman" now repalced by "man ......with a clearer (sic) and more mature..."

These were her exact words, and spoken like a true Conservative:

"Pointing to the experiences of developing countries and formerly Communist countries, where interference with an independent judiciary has allowed dictatorship to flourish, we must be ever vigilant against those who would strong-arm the judiciary into adopting their preferred policies. It takes a lot of degeneration before a country falls into dictatorship, but we should avoid these ends by avoiding these beginnings."
