On this day in history, Sept. 15, 1981, Sandra Day O'Connor's nomination to the Supreme Court was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee. She became the first woman on the high court.
O’Connor had a strong stance about ensuring protections for all Americas. O’Connor’s hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee were the first of any Supreme Court nominee to be broadcast live on television, and tens of millions tuned in to watch history take place. During her tenure, O’Connor was frequently viewed as a swing vote due to her moderate stance on various issues, as well as a justice who could negotiate on both sides of the aisle. Sandra Day O'Connor is currently 93 years old. Erica Lamberg is a contributing reporter for Fox News Digital.
"It [the Supreme Court] is the body to which all Americans look for the ultimate protection of their rights. It is to the U.S. Supreme Court that we all turn when we seek that which we want most from our Government: equal justice under the law," said O’Connor in her opening statement during the Senate nomination hearings held on Sept. 9, 1981.
