What an incredible and intelligent woman. RIP

[@guyfawkesuThe1]

Just think every liberal news organization reporting on this and President Biden(s!) did not mention that President Ronald Reagan nominated her to SCOTUS in the first place????

[@DMNSAV]

Always humble. Incredibly classy and grateful.

[@geoffdb9638]

I read her book The Majesty of the Law and fell so in love with many passages, as well as her legal philosophy. As a Democrat, I did not agree with some of her opinions, but I did appreciate her rationale in those opinions. She explained to the nation why affirmative action was necessary and why it needed to be limited in time and scope.

A brilliant and influential woman who entered college at age 16 and finished law school in 2 years. RIP Sandra Day O’Connor. She will be very much remembered and missed. 🌹

[@tredaviousbowser7931]

That’s crazy I didn’t know that. This is true female leadership especially at the time she did it

[@connorsobieralski6765]

People on both sides of the isle respected Justice O’Connor. I loved reading her opinions, even if I disagreed with them. Absolutely brilliant woman! Rest in Peace Justice O’Connor

[@angiealexis3093]

Thank you Honorable O'Connor! Bless your soul!

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

We need judges like her today, but we sadly, will never really see the likes of Sandra Day O'Connor again. RIP!

RIP SCOTUS O’Connor. Thank you, too.

[@albertmoore4445]

When I contrast the extraordinary character, intellect and integrity of Justice O'Conner or First Lady Rosalynn Carter to current pathetic women leaders such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, and other women MAGA-Trump supporters, it is disgusting and scary.

[@mmp495]

Such a gracious and wise woman. A true trail blazer who paved a path for us. RIP ❤ 🙏

[@bowtieguy377]

She was not only the first but was a fantastic, moderate jurist who really shaped events. On balance, mostly siding with the conservatives, but definitely some big ones with the liberals.

[@Yobbie72]

Reagan WAS happy with his choice while he was in office, as O'Connor voted nine times out of ten with Justice William Rehnquist (whom she dated in law school); but he would have been very UNHAPPY when after he left office she voted to uphold abortion, including partial birth abortion. Of course, today the Supreme Court has overturned Roe V Wade, but it would have happened decades earlier if O'Connor had followed Reagan's counsel that the unborn had the right to life.

[@philippesauvie639]

SDO RIP Dude looks like a Lady.

[@dkf119]

Wait, so Reagan did some things that were woke? Seriously. Arguments for things taking place now fail to identify past same actions and reasoning.

[@MohAmeDALArabY-cg6sr]

God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this great universe and has complete control over it. And the greatest loss that a person loses in this life is that he lives while he does not know God who created him, knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. The great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and then you have the choice to believe in it or not. I advise you on this now before you do not have time to do that.

[@str8ballinSA]

So, God loves us long time?

[@MohAmeDALArabY-cg6sr]

Certainly yes, so you must get to know God in order to love Him too. He created us for a reason that He knows. This life is just a passage to the life of eternity after death. It is just a test and you must pass it in order to escape the torment of life and the torment after death.

[@str8ballinSA]

@@MohAmeDALArabY-cg6sr Understood. To confirm: you must know God, and love him a long time before God will love you long time?
