Retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor revealed in a letter on Tuesday that she has been diagnosed with the "beginning stages of dementia, probably Alzheimer's disease."
"I will continue living in Phoenix, Arizona surrounded by dear friends and family," she wrote and added, "While the final chapter of my life with dementia may be trying, nothing has diminished my gratitude and deep appreciation for the countless blessings of my life."

As a “favor” to his worthless bitch Daughter Maureen(she was a ERA Supporter). Most ALL of the Reagan Kids are/were WORTHLESS!
Only adopted son Michael Reagan seems to have truly appreciated and loved his dad—for being a good dad and a great president. What a shame.

I think you’re referring to Patti. Maureen may have supported ERA, but she never acted like a spoiled brat.

She’s only three years older than Ruth Bader Ginsburg, believe it or not.

Sad way to end one’s life.
In many ways Sandra Day O’Connor was a ground breaker. After graduating from Stanford Law School, the only position she could get was as a legal secretary and wound up being the first woman to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court.

That and pulling the Marines out of Lebanon after the car bombing. That sent the signal to all of the Osama Bin Laden types that he US could be pushed around.2 more:
Signing the amnesty bill

Reagan was sold on her by Kenneth Starr and Barry Goldwater, as I vaguely recall. Jerry Falwell warned early on about O’Connor. And Goldwater then attacked Falwell: said he needed a “good swift kick in the ___.”

Loosen up, Sandy baby. You're too tight!
Tough road ahead. My prayers...
