A friend of mine who argued several criminal cases in the US Supreme Court on behalf of the State of Florida described O'Connor as having a snippy manner in asking questions of attorneys during oral argument -- as if she was interrogating errant school boys.

Re your “interrogating errant school boys” remark, a couple minutes into the first case I listed, Justice O’Connor piped up: “Speak up a little more clearly, so we can hear what you’re saying!” She didn’t add, “young man,” but she sounded like she was going to.
