<p>Is anyone else disappointed that the “liberal media” didn’t pick up on the story that a recently retired Supreme court justice is warning we are headed for a dictatorship?
( not that I am surprised- after all the writing has been on the wall for years- but I still think it is news-)</p>

<p>*The smoke drifting out of your computer over the weekend was not the result of a fried motherboard but the scent of bloggers setting themselves on fire in response to Nina Totenberg’s NPR Morning Edition Friday, March 10, dispatch. Totenberg had attended a speech at Georgetown University given the night before by retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor in which O’Connor invoked the word “dictatorship” to describe the direction the country may be headed if Republicans continue to attack the judiciary.</p>

<p>O’Connor’s voice was “dripping with sarcasm,” says Totenberg. But the retired justice didn’t name Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas, or Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, as the leading perps, in part because she didn’t need to.*</p>

<p>I wondered why she retired.</p>

<p>This could be fun to watch. Go get 'em Sandy!</p>

<p>I saw it on huffingtonpost</p>

<p>She needs to keep it up, we need it!!</p>

<p>Was this at Georgetown University Law Center or our actual university? Because I don’t recall seeing an event like this one. Granted, it may have been closed doors, but I’m usually good about finding those as well. (GULC is closer to Capitol Hill than it is to us, it’s almost as if we’re two different physical entities…)</p>

<p>most of the articles just said “Georgetown university” but it does look like it was at the Law Center</p>
