SACRAMENTO ~ Governor Gavin Newsom of Sacramento has issued a statement on the passing of retired U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Newsom expressed his sadness at the passing of an American icon who left a profound mark on history as the first woman to serve on the nation's highest court.
Justice O'Connor graduated from Stanford Law School near the top of her class, and rose to prominence in the Arizona statehouse as the first woman in the nation to serve as a majority leader. She was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Reagan with widespread support from both sides of the aisle.
