Answer

Before nominating Anthony Kennedy to the Supreme Court in 1988, President Reagan had already appointed two other justices: Sandra Day O'Connor in 1981 and Antonin Scalia in 1986. O'Connor was the first female justice to serve on the Court, while Scalia became a leading conservative voice. Kennedy's appointment further solidified Reagan's conservative legacy on the Court, as he often sided with Scalia and other conservative justices in key decisions.
