Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor criticizes the idea of the "activist" judge, and argues for a wider separation between politics and the judiciary.

-----

Sandra Day O'Connor delivers the closing remarks at the 2008 Games for Change Festival. This program was recorded in collaboration with the New School.

The festival will explore real-world impact, the latest games and funding strategies. Expert practitioners -- academics, activists, non-profits, funders -- will be called in to examine the impact of current games, evaluations planned and the ongoing work to build the field - Games For Change

Sandra Day O'Connor (Retired), Associate Justice, was born in El Paso, Texas, March 26, 1930. She received her B.A. and LL.B. from Stanford University. She served as Deputy County Attorney of San Mateo County, California from 1952-1953 and as a civilian attorney for Quartermaster Market Center, Frankfurt, Germany from 1954-1957.

From 1958-1960, she practiced law in Maryvale, Arizona, and served as Assistant Attorney General of Arizona from 1965-1969. She was appointed to the Arizona State Senate in 1969 and was subsequently reelected to two two-year terms. In 1975 she was elected Judge of the Maricopa County Superior Court and served until 1979, when she was appointed to the Arizona Court of Appeals.

President Reagan nominated her as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and she took her seat September 25, 1981. Justice O'Connor retired from the Supreme Court on January 31, 2006.

Just cause you cant get any action or love does not mean you should take you anger out on a woman who has more power than anyone you will ever know. So take all your stupid ass comments and show them up your homophobic ass....

  • Impartial judgments from activist judges? More drivel from the looney left thinkers.

  • @colonialmilitias1776  I agree. Vile.

  • Los Angeles Superior Court Judges are excpting bribes. California judges are employee's of the State not the County. The County is currently giving them $57,688.00 per yr per judge in addition to the pay and benefits they receive from the State. After being exposed for the bribes (Sturgeon v Los Angeles County) the judges paid a lobbyist to pass SBX211 granting the retro active imunity from prosecution. SBX211 does not address the loss of due proccess.

  • Another piece of shit

  • @StewartLucrative Let me start off by saying this FUCK freedom of speech when the constitution was created the sociality of the people who created it had one thing we as american citizens lost over time respect. I follow my amendable rights the way they were intended respectfully disagreeing and respectfully voicing my opinion its people like you that are ruining lives and country's hiding behind your interpretation of a far stretched and manipulated "freedom of speech."
