99-0. That was the tally, unimaginable in today’s hyperpolarized environment, by which the Senate made Sandra Day O’Connor the first woman on the Supreme Court.
the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court if she wins Senate confirmationDemocrats, who hold a Senate majority by virtue of the tie-breaking vote of Vice President Kamala Harris, all appear to be on board to support Jackson, and could confirm her without a single Republican vote.
Father Charles Fiore, an anti-abortion leader who testified at O’Connor’s hearing, said Reagan’s choice of O’Connor elicited “virtually unanimous disappointment on the part of rank-and-file right-to-lifers” because it was at odds with the party platform and Reagan’s appeal to white Democrats who were so important to his victory.
As it turned out, the anti-abortion opposition to O’Connor was not unfounded. She would go on to be one of three authors of the 1992 decision that reaffirmed a woman’s right to choose, although the court also strengthened states’ ability to regulate abortion.

Exclusive-U.S. targets Abramovich plane, 99 others over Russia export violationsWASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Commerce Department will on Friday move to effectively ground 100 airplanes that have recently flown to Russia and are believed to violate U.S. export controls, including a plane used by Russian businessman Roman Abramovich, officials told Reuters. The list, seen by Reuters, includes 99 Boeing airplanes operated by Russian passenger and cargo carriers including Aeroflot, AirBridge Cargo, Utair, Nordwind, Azur Air and Aviastar-TU -- as well as Abramovich's Gulfstream G650 -- and could further hinder Russian efforts to continue some international flights. The Commerce Department will warn companies and other entities around the world that any refueling, maintenance, repair, or spare parts or services violate U.S. export controls and subject companies to U.S. enforcement actions that could include 'substantial jail time, fines, loss of export privileges, or other restrictions,' the department said.
