Who is the only female judge to have sworn in a United States President?

I was 10 when that happened. I remember my teacher crying. Sad day, political beliefs aside.

OptimisticFrog17914, I went to school that day; but that morning on the PA we heard the news we all cried; the cried...we didn't finish school; they sent us home; my dad did not finish his shift; they sent the workers home; my mom and dad cried too...It was a sad day for all of America...We live in Southern California; that weekend was the USC-UCLA football game; I am thinking they cancelled the that year or they preempted it much that day. I was nine years old then; that made me see how mean and ugly some individuals could be. I am no historian but from that day on to present is why our society has tendency like earthquakes to be shaken and though it tries to get on its two feet...Don't get me wrong I love my country I believe in its ideal, freedoms and all--but only God can intervene and heal our Home of the Brave; pray for our country!

Might also have been because President Kennedy was who appointed her to the bench.

OptimisticFrog17914, I was 8 online. In my recollection was that the three Network channels had no regular programming all that Friday Saturday or Sunday as well as new commercials either. All the grown-ups cried and we knew it was important too.

Player #5555, I met RFK twice in 2 political campaigns in Brooklyn. he was an inspiration to my generation before that crazy assassination in june 1968. I will always believe that there was a right wing conspiracy to knock him out before he got elected president in 68 and before he could start a true revolution on behalf of downtrodden Americans of all races. but I've never seen evidence of it except that Sirhan has never adequately explained his motives except to help Palestiniansin midd.

Go girl !!!

Can you believe how much the world has changed since then? I was 8 when it happened

My first real solid memory is my parents crying over the news of the assenation. I had just turned 3. I remember watching the funeral while sitting in my little rocking chair and crying along with my parents and the nation.

I was born in August of 63. Our family had just started a trip from South Dakota to Ft. Worth Texas to visit family. My siblings tell me it was a very sad time.

OptimisticFrog17914, your mom knew that you would be learning history in the making on that very day.

doxierescued, I was in the WAC. It was the last day of my 3 year enlistment. I traveled cross country from Kansas to my home in Oregon on a seemingly very slow train. I will never forget how quiet the country we passed through seemed. It felt like the world had been turned off.

That was the one and only day I saw my mother cry.

Politics was very different then. There was cooperation and mutual respect. JFK despised Socialism, knowing that it's inevitable outcome is communism.

Player #7432266, Not every murder involves some great conspiracy. There really ARE lone nut jobs out there. One of them got Bobby.

doxierescued, You are so right. Such a useless death. He was a great family man and I liked that about him. Every thing aside

doxierescued, I was 6 yo and home from school with tonsillitis. My mother, grandmother and I watched it happened. I lost my innocence of childhood that day💔

Toots, I was 5! I remember not knowing why everyone that came over was crying! My Mom explained after they all finally went home! & I then cried myself to sleep!

Judge Hughes was a graduate of Western High School in Baltimore, MD. My sister was a freshman there in 1963 and learned this after the assassination.

Mr. Trivia Fun, nicely said..frog.

I was 10 years old when President Kennedy was assassinated. I was actually watching the TV on Sunday morning when Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald. It was so surreal!! It was like watching a soap opera to my 10 year old mind.

I was at home with my brand new baby girl (b 10/3) and her 3 young siblings (ag

Jew for Yeshua, Mr Trivia said he live in California when this happen, so for them it was morning.

1st female Judge.O didn't know that

Birchcat6669, Wow, you guys actually noticed that? I'm impressed!

OptimisticFrog17914, I was 5 on the day JFK was assassinated. We were let out of school (I had advanced to first grade) and found my Mom with curlers in her hair, under a hair drying hood, in her robe, (crying, watching TV in my parent's room). I have never been so wrapped up in a president that I would cry if he died. It was a different world then!

I never cared for Johnson

Player #5710744, that is interesting. I did not know why the flag was at half-mast. Thanks for that tidbit.
