O'Connor Fires Back at Republicans
By Devilstower
While the rest of us are groaning about her replacement, Justice
Sandra Day O'Connor seems very glad to have shucked that black robe.
Why?
Because now that's she off the bench, she's free to air her opinion on
those preaching against "judicial activism"
Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor showed Thursday that
she's not absent from judicial issues.
During a speech in Washington, she said Republican leaders' attacks on
the courts threaten the constitutional freedoms of Americans.
NPR has not yet provided audio or a transcript of the story online.
However, in her speech she blasted "Justice Sunday," Tom DeLay, and
all those trying to cripple the judicial branch for political ends.
I'll update this story as more details become available, but it's
clear that Justice O'Connor is quite willing to put herself on the
front lines of the war against justice.
