More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"I'm a very strong believer in listening and learning from others."
"I have been called a lot of things in my life, but 'fluffy' is not one of them."
"A gender line helps to keep women not on a pedestal, but in a cage."
"I wasn't 100 percent sure I would be confirmed by the Senate. But I thought it would be a shame if the best person for the job was not nominated because of fear of what might happen."
"Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of."
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.
