Iowa For Freedom | Blog | Sandra Day O’Conner on Removing Activist Judges

From @ghollingsworth and interesting link and analysis on Sandra Day O’Conner and so-called ‘activist judges’:

Now, here’s that quote with a little thing we like to call context:

’We have to address the pressures that are being applied to that one safe place, the courtroom,’ O’Connor said. ‘We have to have a place where judges are not subject to outright retaliation for their judicial decisions. That’s the concept. Sure they can be ousted and that’s part of the system, but what the framers of our federal constitution tried to do was establish a system of judicial selection where the judges would not be subject to retaliation by the other branches for their judicial actions.’
