Who "escorted out" Justice Sandra Day O'Connor?
Rather unceremonious departure, what? Strange when the Resident praised her in the SOTU and the camera showed the gaggle of gowned justices-- where she WASN'T!

And that was it. :shrug: :wtf:

2. I thought that was strange, also...
I said to Mr. Z., "Wow, they sure got rid of her in a hurry!"

3. That was really weird.
He ceremoniously refers to her - but she's not there?

And the cameras knew she wasn't there.
They just showed us Alito's bad comb-over.

6. She took off her robe
revealing a shirt with the number of traitor Democrats ("no" filibuster) on it

7. No. She just wasn't there.
(If she was escorted out earlier, I've not heard.)

She was just simply absent.
Which made it weird.

8. Oh hey! I remember them saying something about some Justices
not comfortable sitting there in their robes. Felt like "figureheads"... they can't clap. At least they aren't supposed to! So they just sit there.

Peace.

10. It makes no sense that they're even AT the SOTUS. n/t

9. O'Connor isn't on the SCOTUS any more. Am I missing something?
