November Surprises
A new book, First: Sandra Day O’Connor by Evan Thomas, claims that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia thought that the equal protection rationale of the Bush v. Gore decision in 2000 was “as we say in Brooklyn, a piece of shit,” according to Rick Hasen.
But he went along with it anyway.
Retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor revealed in a letter that she has been diagnosed with the “beginning stages of dementia, probably Alzheimer’s disease,” CNN reports.
“Here I was as a twenty-six-year-old man looking at explicit porn with Justice Sandra Day O’Connor who was standing alongside the colleague she had once dated in law school. As we watched these graphic pictures fill our screens, wide-eyed, no one said a word.”
— Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), quoted by the Huffington Post, in his new memoir.
