Sandra Day O-Connor would resign to care for a spouse with 'end stage' Alzheimers. Her resignation came at the very same time a Senate Subcommittee formed to review the policies and procedures of the military. Her decision was sighted as compelling in motivating this committee who would seek legislative resolve to reign in 'runaway train' executive powers that have lead to an obscure definition of 'Enemy Combatant,' 'Military Commission' and extremist application to all these definitions including 'Torture and Torment' of 'Detainees' which has an even more obscure definition. It is a bit uncomfortable to realize Justice O'Connor may have left less of personal comfort and more under Exectutive Branch duress. She has been asked to reconsider her decision. Many doubt she will. I wish her well and thank you.
