She did a great job as a Justice on the Supreme Court. We thank her for all she did. We will not forget her legacy. Rest in Peace, Justice O'Connor. We will miss you.

@christophergraves6725 9 месяцев назад

I hope that we can forget her jurisprudence as soon as possible. A justice is to apply the Constitution and the law as each were originally written. She did not do that. Justice O'Connor tried to find compromises on the application of laws before her and considered public opinion in her opinions over and above what the law said or the bounds of the Constitution as originally written. She was a disgrace to her office and to her country.

America was incredibly lucky to have Sandra. She was incredibly witty, sociable and very direct as she hated to dawdle. To even be alive near the end of her career is an honour. Women everywhere owe women like Sandra more than we could ever repay.

How times have changed. People used to respect the Supreme Court.

@christophergraves6725 9 месяцев назад

A lot of people did not respect the Warren Court with its innovative approach to the Constitution that substituted the wisdom of the Framers for that of contemporary Leftist justices and judges. That same contempt for the Warren Court was carried over into the Burger Court when those justices continued the same radical transformation of the written Constitution and the attempted a radical, top-down transformation of America into a more egalitarian and inclusive utopia that brought about more crime, dissolutions of communities, dissolutions of families, lower academic standards, the loss of individual liberty as traditionally understood, and the mass slaughter of unborn children that Sandra O'Connor supported as she lied through her teeth to Ronald Reagan about abortion being a "ghastly procedure."

@rizzo3170 9 месяцев назад

Had a great respect for her - she was one who considered the voice of the people and did not cling to her own specific ideology only - she was so pragmatic and logical. She had a centrist voice in some of the country's biggest decisions. A voice of reason is now silent. RIP Justice O'Conner.

@christophergraves6725 9 месяцев назад

The Constitution does not consider the voice of the current electorate. Rather it constrains their voice according to the foundational principles of the U.S. Her decisions were hardly logical. Instead, they reflected her background as a state legislator in which she looked for compromises to appeal to a wider segment of the population to win re-election. As a justice, she should have only performed a strict analysis of a law in light of the U.S. Constitution, as it was originally written, or whether a particular application of the law was consistent with the law as it was originally written. A justice should never consider the effectiveness or desirability of a policy. That is the job of the legislative branch, not the judicial.

If Biden wins next year there is excellent chance Clarence Thomas will expire in those 4 years and we can start to correct the stolen seats in the Supreme Court. Crucial reason to vote for him.

I loved RBG, but she really screwed up at the end by not retiring earlier. Big time. Her legacy will always be tarnished by that.

@christophergraves6725 9 месяцев назад

While Sandra O'Connor's life came to a sad end, her stint on the Supreme Court came to an end none too soon. She was ill-suited to be a judge or a Supreme Court justice. Her approach was more that of a legislator looking for political compromises in order to appease all sides in order to keep the confidence of the majority and reflect their views to the extent that she could. That is not what a justice is to do. A justice is not in office to make policy or to appeal to the voters' interests and sensibilities. Rather, a justice should simply review a law and find, in a very formal analysis, whether the law is consistent with the U.S. Constitution as traditionally understood or not or whether a application of a statutory law is consistent with the law as written whether or not a majority approves it or whether the law or the Constitution make for sound public policy in the view of the justice.

@christophergraves6725 9 месяцев назад

For some reason, I am not seeing Scott O'Connor's full reply to my comment. I was notified of it and see a bit of it, but not then entire comment when I click it. So, I'll reply to what I can see and that is basically what I have already said. A justice is NOT to consider the wisdom of a law. They are only to judge whether or not the law is consistent with the U.S. Constitution as originally written and has been traditionally interpreted throughout our history or whether a particular application of a law is consistent with the law as it is written. Otherwise, the Court becomes a super-legislature that is not answerable to the people.

Amazing lady. Extremely intelligent and open-minded. Sad in comparison to today’s crew.

@christophergraves6725 9 месяцев назад

Today's crew is a great improvement since they actually read and apply the Constitution as it was written, not to be re-written as if it were a statue passed with political compromises in a state legislature. The problem with Justice O'Connor was that she confused her role as a state legislator when she served in the Arizona Senate with her role as a Supreme Court Justice.
