Arizona GOP Rejects Plan to Honor Sandra Day O’Connor

“Arizona lawmakers rejected a plan to commission a statue of state icon Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, and display it in the U.S. Capitol building, with conservatives saying that the idea of honoring O’Connor, a moderate Republican, was offensive,” The 19th reports.

Said state Rep. Alexander Kolodin (R): “We cannot allow the distinguished members of this body to have to suffer walking by such an undistinguished jurist when they enter here in the morning.”
