Sandra Day O'Connor (born 1930) is a retired associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, who served from her appointment in 1981 by Ronald Reagan until her retirement in 2006.
Biography
In 2000, the Supreme Court deliberated over Bush v. Gore, a case asking the court whether or not a vote recount could be held in the crucial swing state of Florida following the 2000 U.S presidential election. Enticed by the prospect of retiring under a Republican President, O'Connor was persuaded by Templar ally and fellow justice, Antonin Scalia, into voting in favor of Abstergo Industries puppet, George W. Bush.[1]
O'Connor retired from the Court in 2006 and was replaced by Samuel Alito. Her intended replacement, the Templar John Roberts, had been appointed as Chief Justice the year before in the wake of Chief Justice William Rehnquist's death. Years prior, Scalia had given Roberts' name to Bush as a potential future nominee for Justice.[1]
