More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"I think that the law can be a powerful force for social change."
"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."
"My mother told me to be a lady. And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent."
"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."
"I would like to be remembered as someone who used her talent for the reconstruction of society, a reconstructor of society to make it a little better than she found it."
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.
