Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor called the heated criticism of the Court over the recent decisions involving the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act “unfortunate,” telling a Senate committee today that it shows a need for more civics education.
O’Connor testified that comments labeling Chief Justice John Roberts a “traitor” or that he betrayed former president George W. Bush “demonstrate only too well the lack of understanding some of our citizens have about the role of the judicial branch.”
