Sandra Day O'Connor is getting some attention for stating the obvious about the man she installed in the White House. It sounds like more of the same ground-softening for a "reform" conservative in '08 to me. Why do I imagine that O'Connor would shill so cynically for her party? Paradox, from the Left Coaster, explains in a post written on the occasion of O'Connor's retirement:
Not wanting to be, truly, I'm going to be disrespectful, uppity and gauche in our political social graces when it comes to departure of the noxious felon Sandra Day O'Connor. Let us all pray that no other human soul appointed to the court ever degrades to her rancid, treasonous, malevolent judicial persona.
I'm crossing a line here precisely in the same way I would have in an obituary for Michael Kelly, where everyone was so sad and glowing in his departure. I was totally baffled at the syrupy suck up to such a dangerous incompetent, exactly at the same way I've watched the complete silence all day about O'Connor's vote in Bush vs. Gore. This time I'm saying it: good riddance and thank God this monster is gone.
To this very second we live under the implications of theft of Election 2000, for I don't believe Al Gore would have let 9/11 happen, and if it had he would not have lied to us to take out Saddam in this disastrous vast war crime.
I know part of the reason Bush dared to lie to us for the Iraq war was because he stole an election and got away with it - he was given real-time empirical proof he was above the law. Bush vs. Gore makes a total mockery of the law and smashed the integrity of our democracy.
I dare one cogent law mind to come forth and defend Bush vs. Gore. Not one will - not even John Yoo, just 40 miles north of here, will even try. His Dean, the old Republican rep Campbell, cannot either, not a chance.
Ever since that Saturday morning my country has sailed over the cliff to destruction for the start off the new millennia, and this felon traitor to our Democracy O'Connor is one of the five master players who started it all. Good riddance, four to go.
I apologize to the many minds and intellects of the left I respect with this. I don't understand the decorum involved in stabling this beast forever, it baffles me there seems to be some kind of mass denial about it, and I'm angry she seems to be skating away with it yet again. O'Connor answered to no one, and never will, over Bush vs. Gore. Here, at least in this tiny space and time, she is held accountable for the horrors of George Bush.
And now she's warning about what we've known for six years and what she set in motion. Well, she can keep her mouth shut, unless she's willing to cop to the original crime.
I was totally baffled at the syrupy suck up to such a dangerous incompetent
I wasn't. The Democrats were falling over themselves to praise her because they figured it would make it easier to sell the idea that her replacement ought to be "like her". And he was!
But it's useless to lie and lie and lie like the Republicans do if you don't have any fight in you after the lying's done. That just makes you pathetic.
