Sandra Day OâConnor: Obama Should Get to Choose Scaliaâs Replacement. Former Justice Sandra Day OâConnor said President Obama should fill the seat on the Supreme Court bench that has been vacated following the sudden death of Justice Antonin Scalia, in an interview with Arizona station FOX10 Phoenix.
Sandra Day OâConnor retired from the court on January 31, 2006. Part of her reason for retiring was to spend more time with her husband, John Jay OâConnor. The couple has been married since 1952 and has three sons. She divides her time between Washington, D.C. , and Arizona.
