Coincidence?
Q
Retirement
On December 12, 2000, The Wall Street Journal reported that O'Connor was reluctant to retire with a Democrat in the presidency: "At an Election Night party at the Washington, D.C., home of Mary Ann Stoessel, widow of former Ambassador Walter Stoessel, the justice's husband, John O'Connor, mentioned to others her desire to step down, according to three witnesses. But Mr. O'Connor said his wife would be reluctant to retire if a Democrat were in the White House and would choose her replacement. Justice O'Connor declined to comment."[88]
Justice O'Connor and her husband John O'Connor with President George W. Bush in May 2004.
Justice O'Connor's letter to Bush, dated July 1, 2005, announcing her retirement
By 2005, the composition of the Court had been unchanged for eleven years, the second-longest period in American history without any such change. Rehnquist was widely expected to be the first justice to retire during Bush's term, owing to his age and his battle with cancer, although rumors of O'Connor's possible retirement circulated as well.[89]
On July 1, 2005, O'Connor announced her intention to retire. In her letter to Bush, she stated that her retirement from active service would take effect upon the confirmation of her successor.[89] Her letter did not provide a reason for her departure; however, a Supreme Court spokeswoman confirmed O'Connor was leaving to spend time with her husband.[89]
On July 19, Bush nominated D.C. Circuit Judge John Roberts to succeed O'Connor.O'Connor heard the news over the car radio on the way back from a fishing trip.[90] She felt he was an excellent and highly qualified choice – he had argued numerous cases before the Court during her tenure.[citation needed] However, she was disappointed that her replacement was not a woman.[91]
O'Connor had expected to leave the Court before the next term started on October 3, 2005.[92][93] However, Rehnquist died on September 3,[94] creating an immediate vacancy on the Court.[95] Two days later, Bush withdrew Roberts as his nominee for her seat and instead appointed him to fill the vacant office of Chief Justice.[96] O'Connor agreed to stay on the Court until her replacement was named and confirmed.[96] She spoke at the late chief justice's funeral.[97] On October 3, Bush nominated White House Counsel Harriet Miers to replace O'Connor.[98] After much criticism and controversy over her nomination, on October 27, Miers asked Bush to withdraw her nomination.[99] Bush accepted, reopening the search for O'Connor's successor.[99]
