Bush v. Gore still pisses off the left.
Dropping like flies.
Isn’t she the one who talked about “affirmative action is wrong, but let’s let it continue another 25 years ago to make up for the past”. ?
Same here.
Fascinating story!
I remember seeing where she was being interviewed and she said while she had been interviewed, she was not made aware she was a finalist for the Court seat and was caught completely off guard. She was in her chambers at the Arizona Court of Appeals and her phone rang, she picked it up, and it was President Reagan saying “Hello? Sandra? I’ve decided I’m going to appoint you to the United States Supreme Court if that’s okay with you?” LOL
When Roe v. Wade was challenged during her tenure, she had the chance to reverse it; but she didn’t. Have fun explaining it to “St. Peter”, Ms Justice O’Connor.
There is a form of hospice care for patients who don’t want any further treatment of their terminal illness (but need pain meds, etc) where the nurses will come to your house. So that can be longer term.
1. Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992): O’Connor voted to uphold the central holding of Roe v. Wade, affirming a woman’s constitutional right to choose to have an abortion.
2. Grutter v. Bollinger (2003): O’Connor supported the University of Michigan Law School’s affirmative action policy, allowing race to be considered as one of many factors in college admissions.
3. Lawrence v. Texas (2003): She voted with the majority to strike down Texas’ anti-sodomy law, decriminalizing consensual homosexual activity.
4. Roper v. Simmons (2005): She voted to prohibit the execution of individuals who were under 18 at the time of their crimes, citing the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.
5. Kelo v. City of New London (2005): O’Connor dissented in this case but ultimately, she sided with the liberal wing of the Court, allowing government to use eminent domain for economic development purposes.
6. Hein v. Freedom from Religion Foundation (2007): O’Connor dissented but ultimately, her vote supported the liberal side in this case by denying taxpayers the right to sue the government for allegedly funding religious activities.
This was one of Reagan’s worst possible appointments.
So true; that’s why Trump was the better president.
A friends RN wife does that now for Guardian Angels
May she Rest in Peace...
According to liberals, Ginsberg WAS the first woman on the Court. They consistently believe their own LIES.
Choosing based on qualifications???? The nerve of some people.
First cousin of James Wilkey.

First Henry, now her.
You got her confused with Fidel Castro.
She refused to overturn the very bad Roe decision.
She outlived Henry Kissinger. Barely.
Same here. Lost track.
