More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"The more women are involved in the decision-making process, the less likely it is that we're going to have wars."
"If I had any talent in the world, any talent that God could give me, I would be a great diva."
"I am ever hopeful that if the court has a blind spot today, its eyes will be open tomorrow."
"Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn't be that women are the exception."
"The notion that because you are a woman, you must be more sensitive or delicate is a stereotype I have fought against my whole life."
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.
