Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court, is being considered for a major honor. An opinion piece in The Washington Post suggests renaming Dulles International Airport to Sandra Day O'Connor Washington International Airport. The writer argues that this would be a fitting tribute to O'Connor's pioneering achievements and would make her the first woman to have a major airport named after her. O'Connor's legacy as a trailblazer in American politics and law continues to be celebrated.
President Biden and Chief Justice Roberts recently eulogized Justice Sandra Day O'Connor during her funeral at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. Biden praised O'Connor as an American pioneer and highlighted her nomination to the Supreme Court in 1981. Chief Justice Roberts described O'Connor's approach on the bench as simple, direct, and focused on getting to the heart of the matter.
Renaming the airport after O'Connor would be a significant recognition of her contributions to the nation and a symbol of progress towards gender equality. It would also serve as a reminder of the importance of diversity and representation in positions of power.
