Dignitaries, loved ones and members of the public are gathering this week to honor former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the court, who died Dec. 1 at the age of 93.
Mourners poured through the Supreme Court's Great Hall on Monday to pay their respects to O'Connor as her body lay in repose. Her funeral — which will be held in Washington, D.C., and live-streamed to the public on Tuesday — will feature eulogies by President Biden and Chief Justice John Roberts.
O'Connor is being remembered as a trailblazing jurist who, as a moderate conservative, cast the deciding vote on scores of important cases dealing with everything from abortion and affirmative action to national security and campaign finance.
