so they have all said it as explicitly as stevens? do you have a link?
also, i don't know if sandra would have cared who was president. she did not always vote conservative and she left primarily because of her husband.
Pick up Jeffrey Toobin's book Too Close to Call about the 2000 election. There is a sizable section where he talks about O'Connor's anger on election night that she'd have to stay on the bench for another four years if Gore won.
if that is true and she said that.....that is unfortunate. i know the high court is full of politics. it is not supposed to be. would you agree?
I think it would be ideal if it wasn't, but it's pretty silly to act as if it's not just as political as the other branches.
