Sandra Day O'Connor was the first female to ever serve on the Supreme Court. So what a sad commentary on the country's recent direction that the primary problems with her male replacement all orbit around his attitude towards women. He's evinced an irritation towards feminism, a dismissive attitude towards gender inequalities, and an abiding hostility to potential solutions. He is, in essence, exactly the sort of prestigious, prominent, respected lawyer whose attitudes and counsel made it so Sandra Day O'Connor couldn't get hired out of law school and others of her gender found their talents wasted and underused.
My how far we came, and Christ how far we've fallen.
