Description
President Joe Biden has memorialized Justice Sandra Day O’Connor as a pioneer in the legal world who inspired generations of women.
O'Connor was the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court. Chief Justice John Roberts joined Biden in speaking at Tuesday's services at Washington National Cathedral, calling her a "strong, influential and iconic jurist.”
O’Connor was an Arizona native who served as an unwavering voice of moderate conservatism on the high court for more than two decades.
The rancher’s daughter was nominated in 1981 by President Ronald Reagan and came to wield considerable influence on the nine-member court.
O’Connor retired at age 75 and died Dec. 1 in Phoenix.
