A trailblazer indeed, whose legacy also lives on in the nonprofit she founded after retiring from the Court. www.icivics.org/our-founderProud to say my daughter works there, and today will be a very busy day. RIP

it's been a bad year for the O'Conner clan. It's been a bad two weeks for really old people: Rosalynn Carter, 96 Charlie Munger, 99 (32 days short of his 100th) Gen. Julius Beckton, 97 Henry Kissinger, 100 Sandra Day O'Connor 93

Seems odd that we have not had a full scale weeping and gnashing of teeth meltdown from the media after Justice O’Connor’ s death.
She was after all first…
Could it be politics?

If it happens it will probably be when she lies in state in DC.

Julius Beckton, 97 Henry Kissinger, 100 Sandra Day O'Connor 93 Actually, most likely every week is a very bad week for really old people. The other day in the LA Times there was a full page of obits, and at least 75% of them were for people over 90. I'd say that's actually a good thing, as it means many people are living really long lives. it just so happens, though that the last couple weeks were very bad for prominent really old people.

Perhaps now the mass media can begin its weeping and gnashing of teeth as it did for #2

I am waiting for the serial career retrospectives to run on all the major news outlets. I expect it may be a long wait.

Coverage befitting her position and accomplishments as the first woman on the Court. Still waiting for the national mainstream media cry-a-thon that #2 got.

I may have gone to a third rate law school but I was taught that when I made an assertion, I supported it with some facts. You never do. Congrats! Elvadoism at its finest.

Did you not watch the fawning coverage of the passing of the icon The notorious RBG. Please. If you don’t recognize the difference in coverage, I can’t help you. The real question is the Why. And the answer is because one was a devoted liberal and one was first.

I miss the days you would parrot its talking points, especially the one about the Taliban inheriting all those Black Hawks. . . . ignborance is bliss, but you instead are full of grievance. And how's that separating children from their parents working out for ya??
