The O’Connors have my sympathies on a personal level. However, at the same time I know I wouldn’t want my own illness — or that of a loved one — broadcast to the nation and to the world. The former justice has to get over the fact that she is no longer in the national spotlight and she should accept her retirement gracefully.
this story is just crap. The lady is terrible for the court but the fact her husband is so demented is private and has no relationship to what is “news”. Just sick gossip.
Good point, but I think O’Connor was very much her own person on the court. She is a liberal through and through and always was even though she probably at one time abhorred petty corruption of the AZ democracy. Howard Phillips had her pegged from the start; so did Jerry Falwell.
The LATimes actually doesn’t care whether America has a constitutional form of government or not. As long as a politician is a democrat, no unflattering stories ever need be reported. It’s hard to imagine another organization as intellectually corrupt as a “mainstream”, left-of-center newspaper. May their stock price sink to hell, and/or a new owner throw the entire news staff out with one swift kick.
