O'CONNOR'S NOT IMMUNE: Justice Kennedy's not the only one the media must point out as a Reagan appointee. From the Associated Press:
"Souter was joined in his opinion by other members of the liberal bloc – Justices John Paul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen G. Breyer, as well as Reagan appointee Sandra Day O'Connor, who provided the swing vote. "
What, no mention of Justice Souter being a Bush appointee?
And yes, we're still waiting for the media to refer to Justice Stephen Breyer, the critical fifth vote allowing the Ten Commandments in public places, as "Clinton appointee Stephen Breyer".
