In particular, she pointed out that when Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election to Trump, many media outlets speculated whether America was really ready for a female president.

☆ What Sandra Day O’Connor Stood For on the Supreme Court - The New York Times

This was published in 2021 to mark the 40th anniversary of Sandra Day O’Connor taking a seat on the Supreme Court. Forty years ago this Saturday, on Sept. 25, 1981, Sandra Day O’Connor took her seat on the Supreme Court. Most people in the United States today were not yet born on that early fall afternoon when Sandra O’Connor took the oath of office and ended 191 years of an all-male Supreme Court. The history of her appointment is not the only reason to think today about Sandra O’Connor, who retired 15 years ago and is now, at 91, living with dementia. At a time when the Supreme Court’s behavior seems to embody and even to amplify the country’s polarization, it’s worth reflecting on the path she took during her quarter-century on the court.

☆ Curtea Supremă a SUA și-a schimbat jurisprudența în privința lăcașurilor de cult
▼ + stars: | 2020-11-26 | by ( Publika.Md - Aici Sunt Știrile | ) www.publika.md time to read: +1 min

Curtea Supremă a SUA a interzis miercuri guvernatorului statului New York să impună restricţii lăcaşurilor de cult din cauza epidemiei de coronavirus, argumentând că reuniunile religioase nu trebuie tratate diferit de cele nereligioase autorizate. Guvernatorul Andrew Cuomo a impus o limită de zece numărului de oameni care se pot reuni în locuri de cult în aşa-zisele „zone roşii”, adică unde se consideră că virusul circulă mai intens. Măsura a fost contestată de dioceza romano-catolică din Brooklyn şi de două sinagogi, iar Curtea Supremă a apreciat, cu cinci voturi contra patru, că ea încalcă libertatea religioasă protejată de Primul amendament al constituţiei SUA, transmite Agerpres. Noua judecătoare Amy Coney Barrett a „înclinat balanţa” de partea conservatorilor în această decizie, după ce mai devreme în acest an - înainte de decesul judecătoarei Ruth Bader Ginsburg şi numirea lui Barrett - Curtea Supremă a SUA a susţinut impunerea de restricţii similare în California şi Nevada. Pandemia a alimentat tensiunile între primăria democrată şi comunitatea evreilor ortodocşi din New York, acuzată că nu respectă regulile de distanţare sanitară, dând naştere unor proteste pe alocuri violente în Brooklyn, în octombrie, scrie digi24.ro.
