More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"The greatest dissents do become court opinions and gradually over time their views become the dominant view."
"Reacting in anger or annoyance will not advance one’s ability to persuade."
"I became a lawyer because I did not like the way the world was. And I thought I could do something to change it."
"I did not get to be a judge by being a hater."
"I am a strong believer that women should have a choice in what they do with their bodies. That's a fundamental right."
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.
