U.S. Supreme Court Justice

The Resume

    (March 26, 1930-December 1, 2023)
    Born in El Paso, Texas
    102nd U.S. Supreme Court Justice (1981-2005)
    Announced retirement from the U.S. Supreme Court on July 1, 2005

Why she might be annoying:

    She was against abortion and many feminist issues.
    Although an independent conservative, she voted to disallow the hand recount, assuring George W. Bush a tainted election victory (2000).
    Feminist groups who tend to be at odds with her, note that if she was not a woman, her résumé would not qualify her for the supreme court.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was the first female Supreme Court Justice (1981).
    She made some movement to the middle and showed some signs of independence (but was drawn back to the conservative side).
