Transcript

All of Arizona should be very proud of President Reagan’s choice of Judge Sandra O’Connor for the position of associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge O’Connor is the first woman so selected and she is from Arizona, but this selection is more importantly of a person whose intelligence, integrity and judicial capability is not dependent on her sex. A qualified person has been selected for a position that can only be enhanced by the demonstrated qualities of the candidate. The president is demonstrating what has made America great. -We are strong and great because we find the right person at the right time. Advancemen t is spurred by the many single-minded and vocal pressure groups , but people like Judge O’Connor demonstrate the courage and intelligence that stabilizes Amer• ica so that our advances can be real and lasting. Let us take pride and joy as Arizonans, as people, as American citizens, that again we have found the right person. MARILOU COY Phoenix
