Retired O’Connor Still Making Trouble - Andrew C. McCarthy - National Review Online

Retired O’Connor Still Making Trouble - Andrew C. McCarthy - National Review Online
The decision in the case, Gonzalez v. Arizona, was not actually rendered by Ninth Circuit judges, only one of whom agreed with it. As Ed Whelan notes in a Bench Memos post, the deciding vote was cast by the supposedly retired Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O’Connor. Justice O’Connor claims the power to sit by designation on cases in the federal appellate and district courts, despite the fact that she is now an overt political activist. Under the rules of judicial ethics, that ought to sideline her as a jurist. But of course, a politician can get a lot more accomplished wearing a robe.
Sandra Day O'Connor is a disgrace and representative of Libs that don't respect the Law, but make up the Law as it suits them.
