The first female justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, Sandra Day O’Connor, will be remembered for her history-making career, her efforts to broker legal compromises and her many memorable religion-related rulings. OK, I admit the religion rulings are pretty far down the list of what comes to the average American’s mind when you talk about O’Connor. During her nearly quarter century on the Supreme Court bench, she refined faith-related funding rules, changed how the court assessed religious displays on public property and helped prompt Congress to pass one of the most important religious freedom laws in recent history.
