More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg

"My dear spouse, Marty, was a truly extraordinary person. Of all the people I have known, he was the only one who was not in the least bit bothered by the success of his wife."
"If you want to be a true professional, you will do something outside yourself."
"I think that the law should be a shield for the weak, not a sword for the strong."
"The true symbol of America is not the eagle, but the common barnyard hen."
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.
