@katiecouric : Sandra Day O’Connor, the first female justice on the US Supreme Court, announced yesterday that she had been diagnosed with dementia. “While the final chapter of my life with dementia may be trying, nothing has diminished my gratitude and deep appreciation for the countless blessings in my life,” she wrote. She added: “As a young cowgirl from the Arizona desert, I never could have imagined that one day I would become the first woman justice on the US Supreme Court.” I interviewed Justice O’Connor for @datelinenbc in 2002 about growing up in Arizona and about her professional life as a judge, which culminated in a call from President Reagan telling her s was his choice as the next Supreme Court justice. She spoke with me about the enormous responsibility that came with being “the first.” 👩‍⚖️ Since her announcement, I’ve been thinking about her and all she’s accomplished with tremendous respect, admiration, and appreciation. 📹 c\o @datelinenbc #sandradayoconnor #wednesday #itdidmatter #itdoesmatter
