Senator O'Connor in meeting

Reagan appoints woman to nation's highest court

Top panel: Eight justices say to Sandra Day O'Connor, who looks eager, "Before we begin, I'd like to welcome our newest member: Justice Sandra O'Connor!"
Bottom panel: The same justices say to a now annoyed-looking O'Connor, "Now, gentlemen, let's go over these briefs while __Sandy__ fixes coffee..."

...while Sandy fixes coffee

The Supreme Court is shown on a tree branch, with a rope ladder hanging down from it. A wooden sign with "Boys Only" painted on it is shown in a trash can.

Caption: "Sandra O'Connor, the Arizona judge nominated by President Reagan
to the U.S. Supreme Court, had a rough-and-tumble childhood on a
ranch in southeastern Arizona and New Mexico. Her youth was not all
play and no study: As far back as the fifth grade, 'Sandra was always
talking about the law,' her former governess, Rosa Rodriguez, said."

Good Horse Sense

A male judge at a legal bench labeled "Supreme Court" leans over to talk to a woman judge, who looks surprised.
Caption: "Psst...want to review some lewd and socially unredeeming movies together..?"

Lewd and Unredeeming Movies

A group of 5 men wearing 18th-century attire and wigs is gathered around. One holds a scroll labeled "Declaration of..." One of the men is holding a letter and says, "It's from Phyllis Schlafly. She says our one year deadline for Independence is almost up."

Phyllis Schlafly opposed the confirmation of Justice O'Connor in 1981 due to concerns about her position on abortion.

Deadline for independence - Schlafly

In front of the Supreme Court, two talk bubbles:
"-Frankly, I can hardly wait for Mrs. O'Connor to get here. Everybody knows how this Court feels about women."
"-Right! We'll get her a cute little kitchen and a brand new vacuum cleaner!"

We'll get her a vacuum cleaner

A man and woman are shown in the style of the "American Gothic" painting. The woman is meant to be Sandra Day O'Connor, the man Jerry Falwell.
A sign in the back says, "The Jerry Falwell Church of the Moral Pejorative - A Tax-Free Organization."
Caption: 'Supreme Court, indeed! Get back in your place, woman!'
Another character says, "Would that be in the kitchen, sir? Or barefoot and pregnant, perhaps?"

American Gothic

A baby in a womb is shown wearing an "O'Connor" pin and giving a thumbs up sign.
