yeah that Sandra O'Connor who was a yellow bellied judge who wouldn't stand up for the constitution and allowed continued discrimination .....what did she say at the time?....another 25 yrs or so to fix the problem...
It was obviously a politically-motivated appointment and she was a terrible justice blocking the stoppage of the infanticide. Generally equivocal females make lousy judges and Justices.
Wasn’t Judge Robert Bork available at that time? He was the most qualified candidate of his time.
“ Then, in 1989, O’Connor refused to join four other justices who were ready to reverse Roe v. Wade with the case of Webster v. Reproductive Services.”
Thanks for nothing
She couldn’t be bothered to stop genocide. Qualified to do nothing
Lesson learned: DEI hires don’t work out in the end, not even for Reagan
Sure, there could have been worse picks but why not go with the best rather than a gender/racial/ethnic pick?
Her recognition relates only to being a woman.
Because of personal bias and spite she got revenge on males for being passed over in her early law career for a man.
Cheap revenge for her own inferior talents.
How?
The deciding vote to allow discrimination against males in the landmark affirmative action case.
Boys and men suffered discrimination in education and professions all these years because of her.
Her punishment will be in the next world as we didn’t do anything in this one.
“who went on a distinguished trailblazing legal career, was “the most qualified woman” then-President Ronald Reagan “could possibly find””
I’d rather have the most qualified person. But I guess having a V is important.
