God help this country, given what the wingnuts on TV, blogs etc. have in store when Barack replaces David Souter. Souter was supposed to be a conservative...and then flipped the script. Sandy was a conservative without being a wingnut. Or a neocon in fake ass swadling clothes. Without being an Alito, or a Roberts, or a Clarence. (n.b. Scalia's in his own little Delta Quadrant of the galaxy so I don't lump him w/that crew). Thus, by measure of the new GOP, she was scum. And she knows that--and railed against it--click here. And suffered their ire. I wonder if she even voted for fellow Arizonan McCain? Probably...with a shrug.
She's also glad to be retired. Now she's penned a not half- bad children's book about an Arizona tomboy (Lonee Love said "that's what we called lesbians back in the day" hahaha Okay, Sandy's married) who finds a stray coyote pup and names it "Slim Pickens," and a little doggy named Susie. No mawkish bullcrap or cliches, seriously. It's a good book. And Finding Susie (Knopf, May, 2009) portrays a sweetness and narrative style I don't think can be duplicated by, say, Clarence Thomas...lol. Good job Madame Justice. Too bad you couldn't have stuck around...
