		Bird, the first woman to hold any cabinet-level position in California, was also one of the few non-growers who've held the agriculture post.
		Bird assuredly was the only secretary, before or since, to be concerned with protecting farmworkers from their politically powerful and notoriously exploitive employers.
		Although using Bird's opposition to the death penalty as the campaign's main theme and enlisting prosecutors to lead it, the wealthy growers and other business interests who bankrolled the effort were concerned mainly with the court's pro-labor stance.

	Bird's feat: Redefining legal concepts as she sees fit
		Bird justifies interminable due process as an assurance that the procedures in capital cases are followed scrupulously, and that major legal errors don't lead to the execution of an innocent person.
		Bird consistently evades responsibility for usurping the legislative role by describing her form of lawmaking as "developing the law." She thus demonstrates how augurers define meaningless words: they rename a behavior, and then declare that behavior substantially changed—a corrupting tactic by which the official truth drives out the real truth.
		To Bird, judicial independence means that as a Supreme Court justice she is independent, not merely of politics, but of the law itself.

		So offended by her rulings were the powers that be in California, and indeed the people too, that she became the first chief justice in the history of the state to be removed by popular acclaim.
