More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"I love to teach. I mean, that's what I did for many years. And I found it enormously satisfying to see students grow."
"If you're going to change things, you have to be with the people who hold the levers."
"My mother told me two things constantly. One was to be a lady, and for her, that meant don't give way to emotions, don't be consumed by useless emotions like anger. The other was to be independent."
"I think it's important to have a sense of humor. Life is too serious otherwise."
"I think that the law should be applied equally to everyone. Regardless of gender, race, or anything else."
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.
