Sandra Day O'Connor Interviews John Paul Stevens

Newsweek:

"O'Connor: It appears, looking at the last election, our nation has become increasingly polarized. Has the role of the court changed along with that polarization, or does the court go on as before?
Stevens: I have a great deal of confidence in the ability of the court to continue to do the best that it can with the difficult issues that come before it ... There is a lot of polarization out there, and one of the reasons for it is all the gerrymandering that is permitted now, that I used to write against ... I was on the losing side many, many times."
