More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"The greatest menace to freedom is an inert people."
"I think it's important for people to realize that change takes time. It doesn't happen overnight."
"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."
"The state controlling a woman's body and her reproductive choices is an affront to her dignity."
"I think it's time for the people of Egypt to have a democratic government. But I am not an advocate of imposing our will on other societies."
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.
