In 2019, author Evan Thomas publishedA Biography of Sandra Day O'Connor,in which he presented information that he obtained from Justice O'Connor's personal documents, kept closed at theLibrary of Congress,that in the spring of 1952, Rehnquist wrote a letter to O'Connor asking her to marry him. O'Connor turned down Rehnquist's proposal because she was then dating her future husband, John O'Connor.[13]The two had publicly stated that they dated for a short time during law school but Rehnquist's marriage proposal to O'Connor had been kept a secret.[14]The two served on the Supreme Court together from 1981 until Rehnquist's death in 2005.[15]
