Sandra Day O'Connor: You can't say I didn't Warn You

Dear Sandra,

I don't mean to rub it in, but I bet you're wishing you had paid attention to that open letter I wrote you a few years ago. This week, a report on channel KPNX leaked that your Alzheimer's-stricken husband John is living, happily, with a new girlfriend in an old age home. Their video exposé even contains hard-core shots of your husband John holding hands with Kay, the local hooch of the Huger Mercy Living Center. Far from being jealous or upset, you, according to your own son, are a bit of a voyeur who likes to watch: "For Mom to visit when he's happy ... visiting with his girlfriend, sitting on the porch swing holding hands... No stress on mom. No guilt laid on mom."

Well I'm glad you enjoy watching your husband and his lady friend "exchange oxygen masks" and play footsie under the Bingo table. And I'm glad that you don't feel guilty about your John. But I still haven't forgiven you for what you did to me and, more importantly, what you did to America. And that is something to feel guilty about.

Liberals were so busy pointing their fingers at Alito and Roberts for shifting the court to the right they forget to look at the bigger question: How did Alito and Roberts get there? By replacing Rehnquist and O'Connor, respectively, on the bench. We can hardly blame Rehnquist, or as Nixon liked to call him, " Renchburg" the "Jewish clown". I mean Rehnquist could barely walk, couldn't talk, and had a gaping hole in his throat, which he covered ingeniously with his signature "tracheo-scarf." And yet this judge chugged away on decision after decision until the day he died at the age of 81.

You, Sandra, (you never got back to me when I asked you if I could call you Sandra, so I'm going to take that negative as a yes) retired at the age of 75 so you could take care of your husband. In my open letter to you (which I know you must have read or at the very least heard about because, I mean I published it on my blog, which is HUGE) I tried to warned you

I know you stepped down to spend more time with your husband who has Alzheimer's. Now Sandra, my grandmother had Alzheimer's, so I speak from the heart and mean no disrespect when I say that your husband isn't going to notice that you're spending more time with him. The country, however, is going to notice your absence.

Like so many prophets before me, I was ignored, dismissed, silenced. I have been vindicated by political and, now, personal events. Of course Sandra, if only you had listened to me you could have stayed on the bench and hired someone else to take care of your husband. At the time, I suggested hiring someone like Harriett Myers, who was looking for a job anyway. Now I realize you could have brought him to the loving lips of Kay who was on the prowl for a new BMONC (Big Man on Nursing Home Campus).

Of course, if you hadn't given away the election to Bush, you could have retired back in 2000 and had nothing to feel guilty about. The good news for you is that your husband and Kay are past child bearing age, so at least when your your replacement helps overturn Roe v. Wade, you won't have to worry about the happy couple forgetting to use a condom.

Write back Sandy!
Love,
me
