VIDEO: Ret'd Supreme Court Justice O'Connor Visits CBS THIS MORNING

Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said that she hopes her legacy will be "that I was the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court and that I did a decent job," in an interview that was broadcast live today, March 4, 2013, on CBS THIS MORNING on the CBS Television Network (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM).

O'Connor also discussed the various projects she's working on including her new book, Out of Order, her iCivics project to reintroduce civics lessons to children, and what may be ahead for the Supreme Court.

"I don't think we're looking for diversity as such. I think they're looking for competent, talented judges. That's #1," O'Connor told co-hosts Charlie Rose and Norah O'Donnell. Watch her appearance in full below!

Excerpts from the interview are below.

NORAH O'DONNELL: Do you miss it?

O'CONNOR: Well, in a way, but I had been there 25 years and it's plenty of hard work, and I thought it was time to maybe do something else. You know, I have a big project that I'm doing, do you know about that? It's called iCivics. Our country has stopped teaching civics to young people and I think that's unacceptable. The only reason we got public schools in this country is through people saying, "Look, we developed a remarkable system of government and a constitution, and we need to teach young people about that." That was why we got schools.

ROSE: You heard us say you were one of the most important women in American history, if not the most important. What do you want your legacy to be?

O'CONNOR: Well, I don't accept that grandiose statement, let's put it that way.

ROSE: So tell me what you'd like your legacy to be.

O'CONNOR: I would like it to be that I was the first woman to serve on the court and that I did a decent job. I think that's a good legacy.
