She was smart enough to step down during a GOP administration, unlike the second woman on SCOTUS who died instead giving Trump the nomination.

Sandra Day O’Connor was a Conservative but I respected her and her impartiality.

I can’t say that about todays Court

 

[Moonglow]

She allowed the ravages of our civil rights during the drug war by Reagan and Bush.

Yay.

First female Supreme Court Justice. She will be missed.

 

[drudge X]

I am glad she died in peace without dealing with the amount of bullshit from DC. That was probably the reason she had enough and retired happily.

O’Connor’s Most Vital Work Was After She Stepped Down

You can tell a lot about a person by what he or she regrets. This holds especially for Supreme Court justices, whose decisions can, with a single vote, upend individual lives and alter the course of history. Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr. said he probably made a mistake in upholding a law criminalizing gay sex; Justice Harry Blackmun was sorry he ever voted to impose the death penalty.

Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, who died on Friday at the age of 93, expressed regret publicly over one vote she cast: in the case of Republican Party of Minnesota v. White, a 2002 ruling that judicial candidates could not be prohibited from expressing their views on disputed legal and political issues. Minnesota, like many states that elect judges, had imposed such a ban in order to preserve the appearance of judicial impartiality. The court rejected the ban for violating the First Amendment. The decision was 5 to 4, with Justice O’Connor joining the majority.

The court’s ruling led to an explosion of partisan spending on judicial elections around the country and judicial candidates freely spouting their predetermined views on the very issues they would be entrusted to decide if elected.

Sandra Day O'Connor Now Doubts Wisdom of Bush v. Gore
Ralph Nader agrees, calls the decision the most 'constitutionally violative decision in American legal history.'

Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, whose decision to vote with the majority in the 5-4 Bush v. Gore decision ended the 2000 presidential election recount, said Friday in an interview with the Chicago Tribune that she's not sure the court should have heard the case.

The ruling overturned a previous decision by the Florida Supreme Court that ordered a recount of state ballots. Republican George W. Bush was declared the victor over Democrat Al Gore with a 537-vote margin in the state.

"Maybe the court should have said, 'We're not going to take it, goodbye,'" O'Connor told the Tribune's editorial board. "It turned out the election authorities in Florida hadn't done a real good job there and kind of messed it up. And probably the Supreme Court added to the problem at the end of the day."

I like people who have enough integrity/honesty to reflect on the decisions they've made. Especially the bad ones.
