Justice Sandra Day O’Connor Lies in Repose at the Supreme Court

Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman on the Supreme Court, lay in repose on Monday in the court building where she served for decades. She was often the ideological center, making her one of the most powerful women in America.

The Supreme Court justices, former law clerks and the public gathered on a blustery morning to remember and celebrate O’Connor, who died of complications from dementia this month at 93. “She never disregarded the realities of our country,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor said during remarks at a private ceremony. “The nation was well served by the steady hand and intellect of a justice who never lost sight of how the law affected ordinary people.”

Justice Sotomayor, the third female justice, added that she thought O’Connor would be “smiling, knowing that four sisters serve” on the nine-member court. Tap the link in our bio to read more about Monday’s gathering and read O’Connor’s obituary.
