From this week’s Newsweek:

In a speech earlier this month at Goucher College, O’Connor herself said she was surprised at all the violent threats she received. “I don’t think the harsh rhetoric helps,” she told the crowd. “I think it energizes people who are a little off base to take actions that maybe they wouldn’t otherwise take.”</i>

Such as stealing elections, flying planes into buildings, and imposing, with your help again, the Patriot Act. You put these people into place when you crowned the twig president in 2000, so quit your bitching now, Miss Supreme Court Justice.
