I think Antonin Scalia has a well weathered response for Justice O'Connor.

Seeing as how it blotted her and four other justices' legacies, I can imagine why. A truly terrible stain on the Court.

Oh yes... the "stop counting the votes decision".  One of the bigger travesties in American political history.

Makes sense. From what I understand, O'Connor ended up really loathing the Bush administration.

I'm betting the American people regret her decision even more.

Then why did she retire during his reign allowing him to appoint her successor?

Among other reasons, her husband was dying and she felt she needed to take care of him.  She essentially regretted her decision immediately.
