WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Saturday hailed late Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor as an "American icon," paying tribute to the first woman to serve on the nation's highest court and her decades of public service.
"Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was an American icon," Biden said in a statement. "I did not agree with all of her opinions, but I admired her decency and unwavering devotion to the facts, to our country, to active citizenship and the common good."
