More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"You can't have it all, all at once."
"Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn't be that women are the exception."
"I think that the law is constantly evolving. It's not a static thing."
"One of the things that I'm proudest of is that I was a law professor and I taught at Rutgers and at Columbia, and I was able to show young women that they could be lawyers too."
"Our system of justice is superb, but there are some areas that need fine-tuning."
About Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933-2020)
Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court (1993-2020), gender-equality litigator at the ACLU Women's Rights Project before the bench, and the second woman ever appointed. Closely associated with Sandra Day O'Connor (first woman Justice and her predecessor in that role) and Elena Kagan (Obama-appointed colleague). For an intellectual contrast, see Antonin Scalia, conservative originalist Justice (1936-2016) — RBG and Scalia disagreed on nearly every major constitutional case but maintained a famous personal friendship over opera. Their friendship-across-doctrinal-divide became the canonical example of judicial collegiality despite total disagreement — and Scalia's originalism vs RBG's living-Constitution liberalism are the cleanest two American constitutional methodologies.
