More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"I think the side that wants to take the choice away from women and give it to the state, they’re fighting a losing battle. Time is on the side of change."
"I think the notion that we have all the answers and that we are going to write the opinion for the ages is just not right."
"I try to be optimistic. I think that's the only way to get through life."
"If I had any talent in the world, any talent that I don't have now, I would be a great diva. And I would sing at the Met."
"I was a very un-noteworthy child. I was a good student, but I didn't stand out."
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.
