Justice Sandra Day O’Connor has passed away. She made history as the first woman on the Supreme Court. And because she was so often the pivotal swing vote, how she came down on an issue usually determined which way the Court would rule. Though I often disagreed with her, the moderate conservatism she espoused seems almost liberal by today’s standards. Rest in power, Justice O’Connor.
@georgetakei My grandfather Floyd Myers, and her father Harry Day, were friends and fellow ranchers. My father and Sandra were friends when they were kids. I remember how proud he was that someone he knew was on the US Supreme Court.
