Am I the only one peeved about Sandra Day O'Connor's criticism towards....

[LynneSin]

the republican party.

I mean, she helped give them power with the Supreme Court ruling that pretty much shutdown the count in Florida even though we're finding out that Gore probably won the state.

Despite how she voted on that, I still respected her because I knew she was there for us with anything related to RoeVWade and a few other important issues. She was like the very best of the very worst in the Supreme COurt.

Now she says that the repukes are leading us into a Dictatorship. Miss Sandy Dee - why didn't you think of that back when you made your decision on Bush v. Gore. Siding with the other side would have simply allowed for the vote-counting to be complete and possibly send our country on a completely different direction than where it is today.

Your criticisms over what is happening now is nothing more than trying to clean your conscious of WHAT YOU HELPED TO CREATE. Personally, when you're rotting in hell I hope the souls of all the people that died because of the Bush Regime haunt you for eternity!

1. repukes aren't known for their foresight

;)

2. .never mind

[Jacobin]

4. Have you READ Bush v. Gore?

Google it up and see what constitutional experts from BOTH parties say

[LynneSin]

5. Sorry, this time they were wrong with 'the law'

She even came out and said she wanted to retire when there was a republican president. And too many people have put Grand Canyon size holes in 'the law' used to decide that outcome.

[Jacobin]

3. She was part of the junta that appointed Bush president

She is a classic ass hat who now wants to distance herself from the carnage and destruction of a nation that she wrought.

[Southsideirish]

17. My sentiments exactly. n/t

[ET Awful]

6. Not to mention the fact that she forwarded their agenda even more

with her retirement. Had she just stuck it out a few more years, she could have prevented at least one of the two new slimeballs from becoming part of the problem.`

[Dhalgren]

7. If she thinks that her position and money will keep her out of the

detention camps, she'd better think again....

[dogday]

8. It is a heavy burden she carries...

By admitting now, what she should of voted against then, is a little too late.. She can't dump this message out there and think it makes it all better, it just makes me know she can see what is happening in this country and she was a party to it.....

[wtmusic]

9. agree

the darkest moment in SCOTUS history, bar none. A monumental failure of judgement on the part of one person has damaged the nation irreparably.

[Demit]

10. I have to wonder who the hell her message was meant for.

She tells it to a roomful of lawyers, with no public dissemination. Who's she trying to be relevant for? Or is she hoping to salvage her legacy?

It's a good message, but I think of her as being pretty wounded in the credibility department. This half-assed warning doesn't help.

[JitterbugPerfume]

11. to little to late SANDY

live with it

[Marie26]

12. Better late than never. nt

[azmouse]

13. Too soon old, too late smart.

I'm sick about what she is saying now when she had the chance to change things for the better in 2000.

[AndyA]

14. The timing of her retirement couldn't have been worse

She should have left while Clinton was in office, or waited until Bush was out of office. That is, if she's truly concerned about the country. Actions speak louder than words, Mrs. O'Connor. And your actions, just like those of the Bush Administration, clearly say, "F*ck you, America."

[Norquist Nemesis]

15. Not me

If anything, when the Coulters, Hannitys, Limbaughs and Savages trash her as a liberal then her vote in Bush v. Gore is perfect to throw that strawman out.

[samdogmom]

16. Has anyone read Vincent Bugliosi's book "The Betrayal of America--

How the Supreme Court Undermined the Constitution and Chose our President". He pretty much accuses the five of treason. Ms. O'Connor is lucky she's not in jail. I have NO sympathy for her and blame her for the debacle we are all living with today.

[moobu2]

18. She’s just trying to cover her ass

As it relates to how she will be perceived historically. I welcome her criticisms, but She’s a day late and a dollar short..

[foreverdem]

19. She helped create it

For her to come out now and criticize what she helped create is deplorable. Too late now Sandy to try and distance yourself from it.

[Catherine Vincent]

20. LOL! No, you're not.

You must not have seen the thread by CatWoman instructing Ms. O'Connor to kiss her fat black azz. :)

[zbdent]

21. Nope -

22. She's back peddling fast!

I do not believe that supreme court justices are immune from charges of felony corruption.

She's just trying to buy herself some deniability.

[Tesha]

23. Too little, *FAR TOO LATE*! (NT)

December 11th, 2000 was the right time to speak out.
Now is far, far too late.
