Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ronald Reagan appointed several conservative judges to the Supreme Court during his presidency, but the most notable was his appointment of Sandra Day O'Connor as the first female justice on the Court. While his appointees generally had conservative attitudes on both social and economic issues, O'Connor was seen as a moderate conservative who often served as a swing vote on the Court. None of Reagan's Supreme Court nominees failed to be confirmed by the Senate. The fact that O'Connor was the first female justice is notable, but her religion (or any justice's religion for that matter) is not typically discussed as a significant factor in their appointment.
