Fulmore proudly announced the visit of one of Texas' own citizens and legendary Supreme Court justices, Ms. Sandra Day O'Connor. In 1981 she became the first woman to sit on our nation's Supreme Court. Appointed by President Reagan, Ms. O'Connor withstood much criticism from liberals and conservatives alike. In time, people began to see a pattern throughout her tenure with the highest court in the land; she was a person who lent great balance and wisdom to the Supreme Court. To read shortened versions of her positions on some of the cases that came before her, visit the Oyez web site and surf the years from 1981 to 2006. We look forward to seeing her next month.
A sometimes controversial issue upon which the Supreme Court exercised judicial review.
Students were surprised with autographed copies of the Pocket Constitution. Some news links:
