I am not a fan of the term 'judicial activism.' I think it's a code word for 'I don't like what the court did.'

More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"I often said that if I had any talent in the world, it would be as an opera diva. But my voice is not up to it."
"My dissenting opinions, like my briefs, are intended to persuade."
"I think that the government should not be involved in making choices for people."
"My dream is that one day, my grandchildren will live in a world where there is true equality for everyone."
"I think it's important to have a strong sense of justice. To know what's right and what's wrong."
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.
