Well, saying that O'Connor was Reagan's nominee is like saying Souter was Bush Sr's nominee. Yes, but that does not mean that the justices are bound to any sort of philosophy or view of the constitution.

We can each complain all day about what we think should make the big story that doesn't.

I'm not the only person on the planet who thinks Scalia is crooked:

Now this is a judge saying casually at a meeting that someone doesn't deserve a full jury trial.

No. He is saying that a captured military combatant is not deserving of a jury trial.

I personally think Breyer should recuse himself of all cases, because he advocates citing foreign law, but that's beside the point.

And for how long is this person supposed to sit in prison without representation at all? And what if after all those years we find out we had the wrong person?
Well, we can't all get what we want.

Ever notice that its Republican nominees who seem to be the most independent thinkers on the Highest Court?

I did, and it was on Fox News even. Maybe you just don't watch enough news.

Actually, I did hear this story. What they failed to report however is that Ginsberg is currently under treatment for colon cancer. Those undergoing treatment tend to tire easily. This sort of ties into the double standard argument. When Renhquest had his problems with illness, people were understanding. Ginsberg, not so much.

I didn't know that. However, I pointed out that I would most likely fall asleep during some of those arguments being presented as well.

What I find to be interesting is that Ginsberg and Scalia are practically best buddies. I guess their families spend lots of time together.

No, I think I watch too much news. And I don't consider Fox 'News' a credible news source.

Apparently not because you keep saying "such and such a story is being ignored by the news" and they are almost all stories that I have seen covered on the news.

I saw the Sandra Day O'Connor quotes on Fox News, CNN, The News Hour and in both the San Francisco Chronicle and San Jose Mercury News. So I don't know what you require that this have been covered in the news. I only mentioned Fox News because if there was any media outlet that would have most stereotypically ignored the story about Sandra Day O'Connor's comments it would have been that.

The very reasons for why you don't consider Fox News to be credible is the reason that even them talking about it shows that this story was covered.

Now, whether it was covered to the detail or hysteria you think it warranted is a completely different issue.
