Now that the first phase of @hcrichardson.bsky.social's wonderful "250 to 250" project has wrapped, I'll share all the videos (one per day) for which I wrote scripts. Some were recorded nearly word for word; others underwent much-needed editing for clarity and brevity.

Tonight: Sandra Day O’Connor.

If you haven't heard, @hcrichardson.bsky.social is doing a project called 250 to 250 to honor our nation's birth. I narrated one of the short videos she's putting together, honoring Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVUY...

BSo the judge and clerk types who work at the Sandra Day O'Connor Federal Courthouse in Phoenix were surprised on Tuesday when all the people who run the building were fired with no explanation or warning. This is your life on GSA/DOGE, I'm told. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/build...

At one point, Sandra Day O'Connor founded an internet company to teach people civics. I just looked it up and it still exists!

The Supreme Court today is holding an invitation-only bar memorial for the late Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

The memorial will be livestreamed—which is a nice reminder that the court is perfectly capable of livestreaming oral arguments if it really wanted to.

Why does Thurgood Marshall look like a George Washington in drag as Sandra Day O'Connor?

Here's Sandra Day O'Connor endorsing News Max levels of voter fraud conspiracies in the 2000 election.
A screenshot of a book where Sandra Day O'Connor is quoted as saying "You just don't know what those Gore people have been doing. They went into a nursing home and registered people they shouldn't have. It was outrageous."

once again I am compelled to mention that Bush v. Gore likely went down the way it did because Sandra Day O'Connor cooked her brain on talk radio scholarlycommons.law.hofstra.edu/cgi/viewcont...
Later, in his book on the court battles that lead to Bush v. Gore, Jeffrey Toobin repeated the election night story and included a direct quote from John O'Connor: Justice O'Connor said "This is terrible," and she hastened away from the television . . . . Her husband, John, explained her reaction to the partygoers, saying, "She's very disappointed because she was hoping to retire"-that is, with a Republican president to appoint her successor. Toobin also described another incident, which occurred while the Supreme Court was adjudicating Bush v. Gore: On... the day of the Supreme Court's first opinion on the election, O'Connor and her husband had attended a party for about thirty people at the home of a wealthy couple named Lee and Julie Folger. When the subject of the election controversy came up, Justice O'Connor was livid. "You just don't know what those Gore people have been doing," she said. "They went into a nursing home and registered people that they shouldn't have. It was outrageous." It was unclear where the justice had picked up this unproved accusation, which had circulated only in the more eccentric right-wing outlets, but O'Connor recounted the story with fervor. Do these reports describe conflicts of interest that would have made Justice O'Connor's vote in Bush v. Gore illegal? The question is not limited to Justice O'Connor. The media have also reported events and circumstances that raise conflict-of-interest issues concerning participation in Bush v. Gore by Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist as well as Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. No media reports, however, have done so with Justices Stephen G. Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Anthony M. Kennedy, John Paul Stevens, or David H. Souter

Sandra Day O'Connor retiring shifted the court from conservative to ultra- conservative, but Kennedy could have kept it from going full fascist and he chose not to, so I don't really care if he regrets that now.

Justice Anthony Kennedy tells @npr.org's @ninatotenberg.bsky.social "very worried" about our country, and that "Democracy is not guaranteed to survive."

Kennedy wrote Citizens United and was the fifth vote in the rest of the Roberts Court's anti-democratic decisions.

I’m a true believer in the Roberts Rudeness Index

There’s something very Sandra Day O’Connor about it — jurisprudence guided by a generalized aversion to things that seem rude, distasteful, or uncouth

("I clerked for Sandra Day O'Connor" might be the GOAT reply)

Respectfully, are you a lawyer? You’re over-reading the elements of the statutes, plus making jury/not guilty arguments. Only probable cause, not guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, is required to charge. The FBI affidavit has that regarding the statutory elements.
