good morning. i m wolf blitzer in washington, and this is special live coverage of the funeral of former supreme court justice sandra day o connor, the first woman to serve is on america s highest court. the service over at the washington national cathedral is set to start right at the top of the hour. president biden left delaware for washington, d.c., earlier this morning. he is set to arrive at the funeral any moment now, we are told. and he is going to be delivering a eulogy along with chief justice john roberts. o connor first met them in 1981, and roberts helped her to prepare for her confirmation where biden was the top person on the judiciary committee. and she earned in 1952 a law degree from stanford university in two years, but despite graduating top of the class, her gender kept her from joining a law firm, so she opened up her own law firm. she was mostly known for being appointed to the high court in 1981, but she is quickly one of the most influential justice
