I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

"O'Connor Saddened by Attacks on Judiciary"

Well, I'm saddened by the Judiciary's attacks on America.

Sandy was in Spokane today. What a day for me to be in Pullman! Darn!

Does she honestly think that the Judiciary has done nothing worthy of criticism? And strong criticism at that? That's why we have free speech in this country. Last I looked at the Bill of Rights, it didn't say anything about members of Congress not being able to criticize activist judges.

We don't get to elect many members of the judiciary, we can't pry them out of office when they do bad things and legislate from the bench, and we get slapped on the hand when we dare to question what they are doing. Sounds like a runaway judiciary to me!
