O'Connor regrets Bush v. Gore decision
You rarely hear a retired S.Ct. Jusitce admit regret over a decision. This regret is justified. Although I "liked" the result in that it set up a Bush win, I thought the Court was wrong to get involved and the majority opinion was a disaster. (Another example, I liked the result in Griswold v. Connecticut--consitutional right to "privacy," But, the Court's opinion--"penumbras, mis-reading of prior cases, etc.--was a 'joke.") Perhaps unbelievably, the level of trust for the Court and Court's prestige recovered from Bush v. Gore.
