U.S.
Senator Mitch McConnell offered thoughts today on the passing of Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the US Supreme Court.
She was 93.
President Ronald Reagan appointed her in 1981.
She served until 2006.
In his statement, Senator McConnell said, quote, Sandra Day O'Connor led with the brilliance and conviction that disarmed resistance.
Her vote on the court frequently determined the majority in landmark cases and the legacy of her role in landmark decisions.
Reviving federalism during her first several terms on the court continues to resound and constitutional jurisprudence.
In quote.
