Thank you Sandra Day O'Conner

This is a sad day indeed.

Thank you for being the voice of reason in some of the most important cases that have been to the Supreme Court. Your departure is a sad one, but it is well deserved.

Now, lets hope the President of the Republicans (note that I didn't say President of the United States...because United we aren't) doesn't fill your seat with a bible-thumping, anti-abortion, homophobic, corporate whore, do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do, religious right agenda shoving bastard. I'm sorry, was that too blunt?

Too bad.
