More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"One of the things that I'm proudest of is that I was a law professor and I taught at Rutgers and at Columbia, and I was able to show young women that they could be lawyers too."
"I am ever hopeful that if the court has a blind spot today, its eyes will be open tomorrow."
"I became a lawyer because I did not want to be a kindergarten teacher."
"I don’t know how many meetings I attended in the ’60s and the ’70s, where I would say something, and nobody reacted as though I had said it. Then, 10 minutes later, a man would say the same thing, and…"
"I have been called a lot of things in my life, but 'fluffy' is not one of them."
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.
