O'Connor Announcement

I may be the last blogger in civilization to post on this, but the truth is that I don't have anything original to say. The record of Justice O'Connor is like that of most public servants. She's done some good things, made some judicious decisions, but she's also made a number of decisions that I would question. Overall, she was probably the most powerful woman in the world for the last fifteen years or so. I used to joke to my students that Justice O'Connor was the one person keeping the U.S. from a civil war. I hope I was wrong . . .

The real fun starts, of course, when the president puts forward a nominee. And he hasn't done that yet.
