This past week, America said its final goodbye to Sandra Day O’Connor.
The first woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court was eulogized at Washington National Cathedral by President Joe Biden and Chief Justice John Roberts.
Justice O’Connor was appointed in 1981 by my father, served nearly a quarter century and died Dec. 1 at age 93.

Never Forget- Kelo vs New London
I’m glad they didn’t go with Ron Jr’s pick!
She wrote the dissent for that one, I think.
You mean wrong Reagan?
Interesting article, I wasn’t aware of any of that.
Rats....I loved Maureen.
She was usually the tie breaking vote . We could have called it the Court of Sandra O’Connor’s Supreme Whim while she was there .
She preserved the non-existent right to kill children in utero.
America went off the Gold standard in 1970 and the God standard in 1973 with legalized child killing. It’s been downhill since then.
” the great Sandra Day O’Connor “
You mean the woman who told us that Un-Constitutional preferences for women and non-Whites need to continue for at least another 25 years back umm...20 years ago?
Yeah. “Great”. Uh huh.
O’Connor caused a lot of damage then Kennedy kept the destruction going
And don’t forget her pro-pornography rulings. Nasty, nasty woman.
Or Patti Davis'!
She was sitting on her only credentials.
Yes, sadly.
Maureen, who died way too young from melanoma, was responsible for the pick being female. Her father was responsible for which female was picked. Both of his adopted kids turned out better the pair of bio kids with Nancy. At least politically.
I think Maureen was a bio daughter; Michael was adopted.
I never understood the need for the ERA. The 5th and 14th Amendments already require equal protection under the law. Same with the Civil Rights Act.
