More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"I would not be surprised if the public is not happy with the way things are going."
"The emphasis must be not on the right to abortion but on the right to privacy and reproductive control."
"My mother told me two things constantly. One was to be a lady, and for her, that meant don't give way to emotions, don't be consumed by useless emotions like anger. The other was to be independent."
"My dissenting opinions, like my briefs, are intended to persuade."
"A great man once said that the true symbol of America is not the eagle, but the common barnyard chicken, because she is the most common bird in America and she lays eggs for everyone."
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.
