Sandra Day O'Connor Said "What"?

By Zamboni

There has been so much Republican crap flying around these last few days that we cats realize we may have fallen down on the job by not commenting on all of it. But, in our defense, we've been busy. Napping and grooming, don'tcha know.

Still and all, the protestations from Sandra Day O'Connor — lamenting the direction the Supreme Court has taken since her retirement — have been too rich to ignore.

Poor Sandy! Now that her husband has died, she apparently doesn't have anything better to occupy her time. So, she's started ruminating on her tenure at the nation's highest court, and has decided that the boys there (not the girls) are ripping her legacy to shreds.

But — including not taking the case of Bush v. Gore?? Goodness gracious. We cats would feel sorry for O'Connor, except for the fact that we feel sorry for ourselves — not to mention the rest of the nation.

And of course, there's this:

When Al Gore was projected to win Florida in 2000, O'Connor, at a dinner party, appeared very disturbed — because she wanted to retire, and she wanted a Republican President to replace her. "This [Gore winning Florida] is terrible," she said.

You know what? We cats think there's no place in Hell deep enough or hot enough for Sandra Day O'Connor. And if you won't take our word for it, ask the 3,000 people who died on 9/11 — or the families of the 4,000 service men and women who died in Iraq — or the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians we killed in a needless war of Bush-Cheney's making. We cats HISS.
