Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : As it turned out, of course, O'Connor's appointment gave a huge boost to women in the law.
61% : "In the years that followed, O'Connor's impact on the law would be enormous.
53% : It was a pattern that was to repeat itself in other areas of the law after O'Connor left.
46% : Our obligation is to define the liberty of all, not to mandate our own moral code," O'Connor said in June of 1992 when she announced the court's decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
45% : Because of her position at the center of a court that was so closely divided on so many major questions, she often cast the deciding vote in cases involving abortion, affirmative action, national security, campaign finance reform, separation of church and state, and states' rights, as well as in the case that decided the 2000 election, Bush v. Gore -- a decision she later hinted she regretted.
