On July 7, 1981, then-President Reagan fulfilled his promise to nominate a woman to the bench of the highest court in the country, the Supreme Court of the United States. Reagan’s pick was Sandra Day O’Connor, a ground-breaking decision marked as a momentous achievement for women.
“Those who sit on the Supreme Court interpret the laws of our land and truly do leave their footprints on the sands of time,” Reagan said in a press conference 40 years ago when he made the announcement. “These individuals dispense justice and provide for us the most cherished guarantees of protections of our criminal and civil laws.”
The bill is supported by the airline industry, that wants to put the asterisk back in airfares.
It would undo the Full Fare Advertising Rule ordered in 2012 by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). That rule requires airlines to advertise the full cost of a ticket, including taxes and fees levied by airport authorities and federal, state and local governments.
As it’s written, airlines would be allowed to report a base fare, then separately disclose the full cost of the ticket. For example, “Airfares From Only $1 .”
The president of the American Society of Travel Agents, Zane Kerby, said the bill “would allow airlines to deceive travelers about the actual cost of a flight.”

Yesterday marked the 40th anniversary of Sandra Day O’Connor’s nomination by President Ronald Reagan to the Supreme Court, the first woman ever nominated to the nation’s highest court. Two months later the Senate unanimously approved her appointment and on Sept. 25, 1981, she was sworn in by Chief Justice Warren Burger.
