"I believe the best path for me to rebuild the conservative movement and fight for liberty is not as a minority member of the Court." She also says that no one listened to her about the threat of "activist judges," which she is. She's stepping down because she can't impose her will on others.

When I lived in CA, my sister in BR had a herding dog. When I came home for Christmas, the dog would sit on my legs so I couldn't leave. He also passed messages. If one of us yelled at someone in another room, he would run back and forth barking at us until we met up. Furry friends rock!
