Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor attended the annual elite Alfalfa Club dinner in Washington last Saturday. Reporters weren’t allowed into the event, but according to the Washington Post, she was overheard commenting on the two front-runners of the Republican presidential primary.
“One is a practicing polygamist, and he’s not even the Mormon,” she said.
STING.
At great risk of insulting your intelligence I’ll remind you that Newt Gingrich has had three wives and been accused by one of wanting an open marriage. Mitt Romney, on the other hand, is a Mormon and has only had one wife whom he’s still married to.

Posted on February 5, 2012 at 2:10pmNewt has had three wives, but not at the same time. Therefore, he is not a polygamist. You’d think a judge would know the meaning of the term, but liberalism seems to have rotted her few remaining brain cells.

Posted on February 5, 2012 at 5:34pmAgreed 100% on that. Judges of that level wi that ill logical frame of mind should be removed from the bench and retired. That is very scary to have sombody like that making big decisions in our courts.

Report Post »1) Ex-Judge–the article opens by noting she is retired.
2) Au contraire–Gingrich DID have “two” wives at the same time at one point, although he only CALLED one of them his “wife” (and only one of them knew about the bigamous union, lol) at the time, in the fullness of time the OTHER also got that title.

Posted on February 4, 2012 at 4:37pmSo Ms Day O’Conner thinks sexual freedom is ok….but only if it is with ONE person, preferably the same sex?
HUH?
Hey, if gay marriage is “legal”, then how about making ALL forms of marriages legal, even open or polygamist “big love” marriage. Oh, BTW….“polygamy” in leftist terms is called “polyamory”. See, it’s a bunch of people in a “collective” group relationship where they all have sex with each other. No marriage, just sex.

Posted on February 4, 2012 at 12:25pmIronic that the first female Supreme Court Justice would joke about something like that.
Also ironic that Barack Obama literally has half brothers from his Muslim father’s polygamist marriages.
Sandra, I’m glad you retired. You just put shame on Ronald Reagan for appointing you.
