“The passing of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor reminds all of us of what an extraordinary woman and justice she was.  As the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court, she was a trailblazer and a role model for girls and women..  She exemplified excellence in public service.  I was honored to get to know her during her service on the Court and have wonderful memories of the annual dinners that the women of the Senate had with the women who were serving on the Court.”
