Would you attend a speech by Sandra Day O'Connor...

[DeepModem Mom]

if invited by a good Dem friend? Or would her Bush v. Gore vote keep you away?


On edit: Thanks to all DUers responding with your thoughts and advice!

1. I'd go in a heartbeat!

[BOSSHOG]

2. I would go to listen to her speak

Especially if she were speaking at a hotel in the French Quarter and her presentation would be over shortly after sundown. I'd have no problem listening to her speak.

I would have a question for her. She left the supreme court to spend time with her ill husband but she is out on the speaking tour now. Am I missing something?

And I would make an effort to get an autograph.

7. Good catch. And she did not retire. She is a college president

or a Dean or something like that.

[RufusEarl]

3. Of course

she's a retired supreme court justice, i'm always interested in what they have to say.

[MadHound]

4. I'd go, especially considering her recent speech.

Yes, granted, she is an integral part of putting Bushco into power. But I look upon her recent speech much the same way as I look at Eisenhower's military industrial complex speech, regrets and a warning about the monster they helped unleash.

[Norquist Nemesis]

5. I'd go! Especially if there were Q&A afterward. n/t

6. F**k her.

After Bush v. Gore, she has nothing to say that I need to hear in person. Her recent comments are interesting, but like Eisenhower's "military-industrial complex" warning, it was cravenly issued on the way out the door of the public arena.

8. No she stole the election in 2000!

She helped Bush get into office, so she is as guilty as Bush!

[BlueEyedSon]

9. I would go and sneak in a tape recorder!

10. I can't forgive her for being one of the Felonious Five that appointed

Chimpyshit to office.
I think my anger would make it hard for me to get any enjoyment out of listening to her.

[Skidmore]

11. I'd go and ask her how she feels now about being part of the

court that installed the dictator.
