Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the first female SCOTUS justice, died today at age 93. The Court's press release is here. NLJ obit here:
Appointed to the Supreme Court by President Ronald Reagan in 1981, O’Connor held a key position of influence as one of the more moderate conservative justices during more than 24 years on the nation’s top bench, and often wielded a swing vote that narrowed the majority’s positions in areas of criminal and constitutional law. O’Connor wrote 645 opinions during her time on the court.
