Sandra Day O'Connor, 1982.

Sandra Day O'Connor was the first female Supreme Court Justice. She was appointed by Saint Ronnie, and is considered by many conservatives to be one of the few strikes against him. She was maddeningly moderate on everything, often providing the swing vote on an otherwise split court.

Prior to her post on the Supreme Court, she was a judge in Arizona. She has since retired to care for her husband, who suffers from Alzheimer's.

Twelve years after the fact, she admitted maybe she didn't do anyone favors by accepting Bush v. Gore.[1]
