I hope Krystal was right this morning when he said that O'Connor is getting ready to retire.

O'Connor was in the dissent. The majority was: John Paul Stevens (author), Anthony Kennedy, John Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer.

In fact, check this out: Supreme Court Rules Cities May Seize Homes

Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who has been a key swing vote on many cases before the court, issued a stinging dissent. She argued that cities should not have unlimited authority to uproot families, even if they are provided compensation, simply to accommodate wealthy developers.

FWIW, O'Connor is liberal mainly on a handful of social issues, in particular abortion, which tends to get her vilified more than perhaps she should overall.

O'Connor wrote a stinging dissent to this decision.

This is sickening.

I think you got the wrong person here. Those 5, led by the Stevens need some medical marijuana pronto.

O'Conner was among the dissenters on this opinion.

This issue is much more deserving of a constitutional amendment than flag burning.
