More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"I did not get to be a judge by being a hater."
"I try to teach through my opinions, through my speeches, how important it is to love your country, but always to be striving to make it a better country."
"If you want to be a true professional, you will do something outside yourself, something to repair tears in your community, something to make life a little better for people less fortunate than you."
"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."
"Reacting in anger or annoyance will not advance one’s ability to persuade."
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.
