Biden, John Roberts speak at Sandra Day O’Connor funeral: Watch live

President Biden and Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts are slated to give remarks Tuesday morning at the funeral of the late Justice Sandra Day O’Connor at the Washington National Cathedral.

O’Connor’s casket arrived at the Supreme Court on Monday, kicking off two days of remembrance events in the nation’s capital, as The Hill reported.

Nominated by former President Reagan in 1981, O’Connor emerged as a key swing vote on the court, guiding some of the court’s biggest cases on issues like abortion and affirmative action.

She retired from the court in 2006 to spend more time with her husband, who had Alzheimer’s disease. On Dec. 1, ​​O’Connor died from what the court described as complications from what was “probably Alzheimer’s” at the age of 93.

Tuesday morning’s remarks are scheduled for 11 a.m. EST.
