Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor - a lifelong Republican - gave a speech at Georgetown University last week in which she blasted the Administration and certain, specific members of Congress for interfering with Judicial review.

O'Connor warned that we were in danger of "sliding towards a dictatorship," when judges are threatened with retailiation - physical, fiscal, and political - for judicial acts.

This is incredibly strong rhetoric from a Supreme Court Justice, not to mention a Republican one. It should have been huge news.

So, who covererd it? Far as I can tell, only NPR and oddly, a few editorials in Texas papers. The usual suspects (the Post/the Times) only mentioned it in passing.

Weird.
