More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"I think it's important to have a strong sense of justice. To know what's right and what's wrong."
"I am ever hopeful that if the court has a blind spot today, its eyes will be open tomorrow."
"My dissenting opinions, like my briefs, are intended to persuade."
"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."
"I think that the court should be a place where reason prevails."
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.
