Trailblazing Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor Dies at 93

Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, died on Friday. She was 93. A Ronald Reagan appointee who retired from the high court in 2006, O'Connor was known as a swing vote in contentious cases on abortion, religious liberty and affirmative action. She once wrote, “Rare indeed is the legal victory — in court or legislature — that is not a careful byproduct of an emerging social consensus.” We’ll talk about her influence and legacy. see more

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Tuesday that if Russia maintains its alliance with Syrian President Bashar Assad, Russia risks becoming irrelevant in the Middle East. The comments came just before Tillerson boarded a plane to Moscow for talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov and after failed efforts by the G7 countries to develop a unified approach to Syria.

Guests:
