Sandra Day O’Connor Retires

I’m going to miss her. Most of the judges you could pretty much guess how they were going to vote. But not with Justice O’Connor. More often than not, she was the one everyone kept their eye on. That’s how I like to think people view me.
There will be a political blood bath over her replacement. Although considered conservative by some, she was a swing vote. More often than not ( gut feeling, no fact checking on this ), she did side with the conservative view ( strict interpretation ). In order to solidify the chance of any conservative issues being favorably reviewed, the conservatives will HAVE to replace her with a conservative. In order for the liberals to have any chance, they will HAVE to get a liberal on the court. There is no way either side can take a pass. There really is no way either side can negotiate. This will be exciting to watch.
