Sandra Day O'Connor warns of coming US dictatorship, blames Republican rhetoric for increase of violence against judges

And let me just say I proposed, oh, a good year ago that someone fund a campaign against judicial hate speech in order to the Republicans to this issue and ultimately make them responsible for the violence, while more broadly showing that neither the Republicans nor their religious right cronies have any respect for the American way of life or for our government. They hate our democracy because it gets in the way of their grand plans to impose their minority will on the rest of us.

You might have noticed that no one stepped up and embraced my plan. Well, except Sandra Day O'Connor.

Will the Democrats seize this opening O'Connor has given them, to talk about our democracy, our values, about violence and hate speech?

Yeah right.
