Praise and Prayer

My thanks go to the Honorable Justice Sandra Day O'Connor for her long, distinguished, and above all principled service to the United States of America. Time and time again, she has stood as a bulwark of sanity in the face of irresponsible, ill-advised, or simply wrong judicial thinking, from neocons and the uninformed alike. She is a true moderate conservative, and while I have not agreed with her on everything, I thank her for using her skill, her energies, and her formidable intellectual presence in our service. I wish she were not choosing to retire in these interesting times, but that is purely her decision to make.

Oh Juno Justicus, send us another like her! Let her place be taken by one who wields the Sword and the Scales in right measure, who weighs both sides evenly, who is familiar with the scrolls of Law and the tenets of Mercy!
