Nominated in 1981 by President Reagan, O’Connor holds the distinction of being the first woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Considered to be conservative in her judicial philosophy at the time of her appointment, this Justice carved out her own path during 25 years on the Court, often functioning as the swing vote in controversial decisions. She retired in 2006. An Associate Justice, O’Connor kept the displayed bound copy of the U.S. Constitution in her chambers. A careful examination reveals that she sometimes underlined key passages.

Representing the 2nd District of Kentucky in the U.S. Congress from 1953 until his death, Natcher made his mark in the areas of health care and education and advanced to the chair of the House Appropriations Committee in 1992. He is perhaps most remembered for making 18,401 consecutive roll call votes and for self-financing all of his election campaigns. Natcher accumulated enough seniority to hold key committee positions in the House of Representatives. Speaker of the House Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill presented him with the displayed gavel in recognition of his work in helping to pass the act that resulted in the Social Security funding compromise of 1983. The desk and desk accessories displayed were from his Washington D.C. office.
