I do think that the court has become more politicized. It was not always thus. I mean, the justices were not appointed for partisan reasons.

More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"The state controlling a woman's body and her reproductive choices is an affront to her dignity."
"I’m sometimes asked, ‘When will there be enough women on the court?’ And my answer is, ‘When there are nine.’"
"My mother told me to be a lady. And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent."
"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."
"I'm a very strong believer in listening and learning from others."
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.
